Daemon refers to an entity that guides human behaviour, sometimes towards darkness, and in computing it also refers to software that operates in the background, invisible to the user. The film is based on this idea: giving substance to what we cannot see, to those who moderate content on the Internet and those who assemble the technology we use. I follow two characters who inhabit the margins of this digital infrastructure and subvert its codes to create a monster. As in Frankenstein, the assembled body expresses the desire to belong in a world that excludes it.
