Share

In this work by Robert Overweg from 2011, a sex worker from Gran Theft Auto IV is seen through the window of a "real" car (read: photo realistic) . Her Name is Candy has an interactive element: viewers can send a text message to the virtual character and receive a reply. For example:

"Hi sweety I am a bit occupied right now, will call you back later...

Are you the one with the large hands and the small penis?

Please buy me"
