The Taming

I found you between all those pixels. Still proud of that. A shadow, a preposterous idea, an embarrassing wet dream. We were buyoant explorers of a new world. Eager to make things right. Put Man into the computer, we thought, and suddenly, all algorithmic rigour will be lost.

A digital material film, found footage. An irritating flicker full of visual counterpoint that juxtaposes sensual and intellectual experience on different levels. A destruction of the digital image with its compression algorithms and bits. An artistic iconoclasm that exposes the realism effect of the digital with the pollution of the image.

A tragically failed love story: an encounter in the dark forest, a passionate affair that stagnates in the ordinary, confines itself, encrusted, hemmed in and tamed in everyday capitalist life.

An ironic song about the utopias of the digital, the naïve hope that technology will redeem us and replace what we have long forgotten to dream.
