Overpopulation (2020) by Sara Bezovšek is the sixth and last 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 obsession for continuous aesthetic self-perfection to the representation of internet phenomena capable of altering our perception of reality.

Overpopulation is part of SND. An Interactive Story Game (2020-ongoing) an interactive game that begins with a starting homepage, and then articulates into multiple subpages, each of which is endless scrolling and constantly evolving, which explore possible post-apocalyptic future scenarios. The theme that Overpopulation deals with is the exponential growth of the earth's population which leads to its progressive extinction. The viewer is led to reflect on an apparently dystopian, but potentially real, scenario and what to do to avoid this hypothetical apocalyptic future.

With DIGITAL VIDEO WALL Metronom offers a place dedicated to the exhibition and presentation of digital art languages. The peculiar position 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.
