Involving references to mysticism, science, African history and post-Internet cultures, this text offers a reading of the exhibition Premium Connect by Tabita Rezaire at Batalha Centro de Cinema, in Oporto. I address the connections between the spiritual and the digital, and the problematic dimensions of digital global connectivity.
