METAMORPHOSIS #2, DVW | PALLE TORSSON
Free Fall (2011) by Palle Torsson is the second video screening inside Metamorphosis, fifth edition of DIGITAL VIDEO WALL, an annual project structured in thematic chapters, which promotes the dissemination and experimentation of digital art.
Metamorphosis is the theme chosen for the fifth edition of the Digital Video Wall, which focuses on the visual and conceptual investigation carried out by several artists at the intersection of artificial intelligence, bots, algorithms, virtual and gaming environments. The series unfolds across multiple thematic threads, exploring how the new frontiers of technology shape human dynamics and how they constantly redefine our relationship with machines and technology.
Free Fall is a modified version of the video game Half-Life 2, in which the viewer is visually overwhelmed by a myriad of seemingly lifeless bodies, which like puppets fall inside a tunnel, slamming into the surface of the environment, before crashing to the ground in a pool of blood. Free Fall is a philosophical and aesthetic reading of our society, now more than ever locked in a perpetual free fall on multiple fronts, socially, ecologically, politically, as well as economically.
With DVW 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.
