Remote Romance (リーモート・ロマンス, Rīmōto Romansu) is a Stand designed by Hirohiko Araki for the Hirohiko Araki JoJo Exhibition 2012. Its purpose was to promote the exhibition via internet live-streaming.

Appearance

Remote Romance is a humanoid Stand draped in a black and purple garment covering its entire body, making its shape less defined compared to other Stands. A screen covers its face and its gauntlets are covered with a keyboard pattern not unlike Chocolate Disco. Remote Romance's hood is also decorated with a symmetrical "R" motif.

History

The original user of Remote Romance was a legendary hacker named Dixie Flatline (ディキシー・フラットライン, Dikishī Furattorain) who was 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

Broadcasting: The Stand possesses humans who have access to a particular server and gives them the ability to 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.
