"Pearl was inspired by the dual nature of everyday technology and the internet. On the one hand, it makes our lives easier; a lot of beauty and joy comes from it: it can help those in need, it can convey artistic content, it is democratic, sparkling, clear, and translucent like crystal clear water. But, on the other hand, it generates problems, anxieties and is vulnerable. It is a dictator, cruel phishing, secretly voyeur, a dangerous scammer who exploits the naivety of users."
