Stealing Ur Feelings (2019) by Noah Levenson is the fifth video intervention in the programming of Rabbit Hole, the fourth edition of DIGITAL VIDEO WALL, an annual project structured in thematic chapters, which promotes the dissemination and experimentation of digital art.
Rabbit Hole is the theme chosen by Gemma Fantacci to present a series of works whose focus can be identified in the metaphor introduce by Lewis Caroll of the White Rabbit. Rabbit Hole delves into the deep web to trace trajectories and movements of a visual milieu that ranges from the destructive cycle fomented by the obession for continuous aesthetic self-perfection to the representation of internet phenomena capable of altering our perception of reality.
Stealing Ur Feelings presents video frames that the artist collects from various web sources. "A deep learning-based AR experience that analyzes facial reactions to reveal the dangers of Big Tech's emotional surveillance programs." The question this project asks is: are we really aware of how AI, algorithms and social media manage our data? Are we really able to manage and choose which content to watch?
With DIGITAL VIDEO WALL Metronom offers a place dedicated to the exhibition and presentation of digital art languages. The peculiar position of the video wall, which allows 24-hour use from the street front, transforms the DVW into an urban intervention, a way to redesign and change the image of the street.
