Artist Statement:
FEED is an interactive installation that explores the notion of the self and the fragmented existence of bodies and sensorium. Combining video game elements, spatial soundscape, and transmedia storytelling, FEED 3.0 takes the audience on an immersive audiovisual journey in a panopticon-like complex. While a tracking apparatus constantly scans and monitors everything in the space as if an autonomous being with many eyes, the audience plays the role of a computer mouse, a curious listener and user walking on a long scrolling feed, passing by various characters in their internet cubicles, and potentially getting lost in this internet labyrinth full of joyful colors and sound events.
The project aims to construct an immersive and interactive environment that invites the audience to critically observe and question their everyday living situation in a post-digital age. FEED is part of our Doppelgänger series, an ongoing artistic research project examining various systemic and social-political issues in the context of surveillance capitalism.
