Symbolic Exchange and Death
Insect eyes and menu-icons, in mutual regard, form a multi-layered system. The film interprets the restless repetition and redundancy of menu and insect behaviour as typical of absurd technological society. The visual and sonic play alludes to our hyped digital utopia - the tension between an unbridled material and its standardization into discrete binary units. >> Publications >> Clipviewer 2006 > 4x4, Exceeda, London 2004 > Machinista Festival (Full Screen Robovison section), screened at Centre for Contemporary Arts Glasgow & toured to Perm City, Russia; RIXC Media Space, Riga, Latvia (2005); Video Hijack Bus, curated by Rob Kennedy, Dialogues Festival, coach travelling between Glasgow & Edinburgh; Sonic Arts 32: Sound/Text/Image, University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK; Investigating Film 2, Side Cinema, Newcastle.
