1646 transformed its big display window into a temporary Street View Cinema!

We selected two exciting video works by graduating students from KABK Interactive Media Design department. The two works reflect on technology, loneliness and the role of digital environments in times of the current pandemic. A new reality emerges from our relationship to the digital world and the way we use representations of ourselves in it.

Silicon Sights

8 minutes 8 seconds (4K)

Silicon Sights offers a stroll through digital and natural landscapes whilst trying to interpret how they intertwine—a new Romanticism. A fragile dependency comes to light, showing how the digital space can’t thrive without the natural resources of the physical one. The more photorealistic and accurate the virtual simulation, the more computer processing power is necessary, which in turn requires more natural resources to be used for computer chips and the like, leaving an increasingly large carbon footprint.

Novel

20mins

Novel is a dramatic musing on the external and internal masks we choose to put on. The video takes place at the beginning of the lock down in Spain. The characters (Lola, Rosa, Carmen and her Mother) are stuck at home and boredom starts to overcome them. Before long they question their own self image out loud as they begin to talk to and even gossip with selfies and inanimate objects. The girls go through an introspective journey, in a quarantine, accompanied by their phones and tablets. Their devices invent new gestures that affect our natural behaviors — like the flickering of a Face Filter with a slight tilt of the head to put our masks back on.

Info

Over Carmen Roca Igual: Carmen de la Roca (geb. 1998, Parijs FR) werkt met fotografie, film, performance en installatie en onderzoekt met haar werk het menselijke gedrag en de sociale ‘makeup’ die we opdoen in relatie tot nieuwe media. Haar werk combineert identiteit, technologie, empowerment en de rol van nieuwe media, maar ook het nastreven van communicatie, spiritualiteit en connectie, wat voor velen een zoektocht is. Carmen onderzoekt door middel van ervaringen via fictieve karakters haar eigen karakter en dilemma’s uit de samenleving.

Roca Igual studeerde in 2020 af aan de Koninklijke Academie van de Beeldende Kunsten in Den Haag. Haar werk was geselecteerd voor het #AmLatino Film Festival en was genomineerd voor de Young Talent Award tijdens de Dutch Design Week. Ze assisteerde kunstenaars en filmmakers Amalia Ulman en Pauline Curnier Jardin, en haar werk is eerder getoond in Amsterdam, Kopenhagen, Rijeka en Den Haag.
