Artist Statement:
“A simulated city crowd lives in total ignorance of their condition, until their creator suddenly manifests itself…”
This short experimental animation mirrors our socio-technological condition to a simulated crowd that acts strangely similar to us. But the real focus of this film is about who controls the cursor and rigs the simulation. As viewers, we are first in this unsettling position as a spectator/demiurge until a character from the simulation reacts and shifts the power dynamics of the virtual world… or do they ? Are you the cursor or the dummy ?
