hi guys! bit of a different video than what I usually upload, I hope you enjoy. this upload is a short film created by me and a friend to display our experience with modern social media. It was created over the span of Spring 2024 to be displayed at Survey, the art showcase at Chatham University. --- ARE YOU ENGAGED? // I AM NOT ENGAGED Angelo Licavoli & Obadiah Bernstein, 2024 Digital Video, Electronic Music, Real Time Audio Reactive Video , CRT TVs --- ARE YOU ENGAGED? / I AM NOT ENGAGED takes the viewer on a trip through the modern Internet landscape. In the film, we tackle the issue of echo chambers, oversaturation of media, bigotry, and the addictive nature of modern media. This project was important to make to us because while most people are aware of these issues with the Internet, they rarely take the time to confront them. Within these broad critique segments we included an interpretation of our personal experiences with technology and online culture. Working together allowed us to bounce ideas off one another, this process shaped the themes of the film and the topics we discussed within it. The somewhat abstract nature of the project aims to display a more symbolic take on these issues. Using TouchDesigner, music production software FL Studio, and After Effects we wanted to make something really creative and unique– in stark contrast to the types of media we are criticizing in the film. Using CRT televisions to display our film seemed like the obvious choice to juxtapose the lazy nature of modern (short form) media. Using CRT TVs hopefully prompts the audience to reflect on the evolution of technology, and the sacrifices that have been made along the way. We hope that viewers will examine their own relationship with technology and bring some consciousness when consuming the media we view on a daily basis. --- Become a channel member for early access to videos, shoutouts, and more! ? ~https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXSnf4u6EW7f18uJyDDlpeg/join Check out my website!? ~https://disuko.gay Support on Patreon for early access to content and other benefits! ? ~ https://www.patreon.com/disuko Be sure to like and comment on what you enjoyed in this video!
