The video-clip deals with the controversies of today life, social media spreads fake news, disinformation and polarizes the society. Hate is generated instead of connection. There is no room for consensus, we are trapped in a bubble and overwhelmed with self-fulfilling “prophecies”. Social media not only divides society but it is also tricking individual, allowing easy creation of multiple schizophrenic digital avatars and personalities. While in the physical world people adapt to the society, the digital worlds give a wider range of possibilities and tempt to develop extremistic artificial characters such as Hate-Bots, Hate-Speach, Conspiracy-Theorists, etc.
This clip focus on two main characters, who actually represent the same individual: one connected to the natural physical world and one trapped in the artificial digital cyber space. The two are now close now distant, now apart now overlapping, first in contrast then united. They influence each other and manipulate each other by entering now the world of one than the world of the other. On this journey, the digital protagonist take over, seperates from it's counter part and dives deep into the darkness of the WWW.
While scrolling through the channel of information, it faces various cyber characters who representats a part of the web-society we are living in. They rush through the channel, each one too busy with itself, each one totally addicted to his own little reality to allow the necessary time and space for a dialog. Our virtual protagonist is overwhelmed by the speed, senceless and careless information with which he is confronted, feeling crushed, decides to close in himself as this seems to be the most obvious way to tolerate an inhuman future incapable of caring for his own planet, sensitive only to money, power and fame, a generator of social damage and of homologated individuals now used to anything but the thought of a common future.
Escaping this channel and unify with the natural embodyment of it self brings this clip to an end, where the digital and natural sides of the person dance in harmony together. There is not a right or wrong, a real or unreal, a digital or physical natural world. Both are part of our reality and all of us need to take care on both worlds, try to unify them with justice, honesty and acceptance. Yes, we are a hybride society, and the virtual space is also our home we must cultivate as so as we need to progress in this globalized physical world. With this interdisciplinary work a bridge between music, performance and film we want to denounce the social damage of our time, and promote a message of hope that sees art as a way of inclusion and the return to nature as a return to truth like a weapon of sentiment to fight together for our future.
