But this is the video that started it all out; the character depicted in the video...
Rococo Basilisk
She's from Vancouver, Canada. Her real name is Claire Boucher...French name.

The pair apparently met online after striking up a connection over a very nerdy joke. Per Page Six:
“Thought experiment Roko’s Basilisk considers the hypothesis of a future where AI lords over the world and could punish those who did not help it into existence. His joke was to merge this thought experiment with a pun using ‘Rococo’, referring to the ornate French 18th Century Baroque style, perhaps pointing out that both concepts are complex, too extreme and ridiculous.”
As it turns out, Grimes had already made the joke in her video for “Flesh Without Blood” which featured a character named Rococo Basilisk. “[This character] is doomed to be eternally tortured by an artificial intelligence, but she’s also kind of like Marie Antoinette,” she explained to Fuse in 2015.

Watching that imbecilic video took 7 minutes of my day that I can never get back.
WTF kind of crap is that?
Ugh. Remember when edgy female artists were like...Fiona Apple?
Oops guess I can’t comment on art unless I’m the approved demographic
Your comment was hilariously sexist.
