A series of recent artists’ moving image works exploring the internet, digital technologies, virtual realities and other forms of networked existence.

“As you look at the screen, it is possible to believe you are gazing into eternity. You see the things that were inside you. This is the womb, the original site of the imagination. You do not move your eyes from the screen, you have become invisible.”

Together these short films open a window into outer realms of the digital present, ruminate on our connected past, or speculate towards unknown futures.
