AES+F, Last Riot 2, The Track, 2006.
Last Riot 2, The Track was originally created for the Venice Biennale in 2007. In reference to Baroque Painting tradition and Chiaroscuro, this video installation imagines a dystopian virtual world where bodies removed from conscience and emotion exist weightlessly in a cyber paradigm. Light, shadow and digital manipulation slate a post-apocalyptic world where young teens enact conflict as ritual. Both heroes and villains are automatons here, mechanically carrying out unseen commands within this dreamlike simulation.
