_T0701_ (aka TOYOL)
In an ordinary neighborhood sometime in the future, a PMD Delivery Personnel (DePer) finds himself caught between the struggles of the real and digital world. In the digital realm, mainly ruled by MegahCorp, Jati is another avatar of the digital working class, ruled mainly by MegahCorp. Driven by materialistic rewards of financial incentives and social ratings, it offers him a living and hope for the future.
Conceived by Zeugma, a collective made up of Rizman Putra, Safuan Johari, Brandon Tay, and Zulfadli Rashid (Big), _T0701_ exudes wit and originality the collective is known for.
With its existential themes around survival, ethics, and modern life, along with a mix of virtual reality and storytelling panache, _T0701_ is a dark and entertaining ride not to be missed.
Azizah Tekno
Raised in an orphanage, Azizah grew up without the warmth of a family. She keeps herself distant from society as she feels she sticks out like a sore thumb. The nickname Azizah Tekno was given to her by the minders at the orphanage. They identified her as the girl who is adept at coding and makes good techno music. Always the outsider, Azizah is constantly in search of an alternative lifestyle.
