The case of the absent Latin American Pavilion awaked a 'mémoire involontaire' of artists, curators and authors from the region who advocate for contemporary discourses and practices in the arts. To broach the subject of presence, Reflektor M and its collaborators, Ediciones Popolet invited around 25 international artists, authors and curators to awaken haunting presences in their own stories of ghosts for the 57th Venice Biennale in 2017.

The story is based on a series of dialogues describing the algorithmic dynamics and dependencies between a dweller and 'smart' appliances. The piece is an existential examination of inhabiting a 'smart' home.
