Welcome to Kita’s World, a CG environment for the alter-ego of Martine Syms. From within the content creator vernacular, Kita embodies and questions the everyday disjuncture of technological innovation and (mis-)representation in a hyper-digital world. In this episode, Kita tells a cautionary tale about e-hustling in a traffic jam: think before you send business emails while driving.
