Remote Romance
Remote Romance (リーモート・ロマンス, Rīmōto Romansu) is a stand designed by Hirohiko Araki for the JoJo Exhibition. It is not featured in any canonical materials. His original purpose was promotion of the Hirohiko Araki Jojo Exhibition via internet live-streaming.
Appearance
The stand appears to be based on a personal computer, with a screen covering its face and keyboard keys on its gauntlets not unlike Chocolate Disco. It is also draped in a garment covering its entire body, making its shape less defined compared with other stands, which mostly have well-defined bodies.
History
The original user of Remote Romance was a legendary hacker put to death in 2006. After his death, only his stand remained on the network for anyone with access to a particular site to use it.
Ability
Dixie Flatline: the stand possesses humans who have access to a particular server and gives him or her the ability project an alter ego to a remote location.[1]
Trivia
- Dixie Flatline is a hacker character from William Gibson's novel "Neuromancer". He had died, but a saved copy of his mind existed in cyberspace during the story.
- This "Stand" was created to stream a visit to the exhibition via internet. The real life "Stand" made a visit to the gallery on particular days, showing its "users" the art exhibited.
