Steve Hates Fish

Synopsis

Made by deliberately misusing a language translator app on a smartphone, Steve Hates Fish interprets the signage and architecture in a busy London shopping street. In an environment overloaded with information the signs run riot, as the confused and restless software does its best to fulfil its task.
