Synopsis
Sister Valerie of the Internet is anchored in the rich Catholic history of Québec and Canada. The public is invited to confess their sins to “Sister Valerie” through an online confessional, which also serves as an archive and depository of past sins. A series of telematic performances will permit the public to pray with “Sister Valerie” and provide an opportunity to reflect on the role of faith and religion in technology.
