The videos inccluded in the collage was created for FemLink 01 - IT’S JUST A GAME, Maria Rosa Jijon (Ecuador) The word Game is indeed a trap: not only translates into play but, above all, in prey. In an era apparently facilitated by the invasion of computers and machines, the reality is that everything looks, more and more, like the locations of Orwell’s 1984. The removal of spatio- temporal boundaries is just a consolation prize, because the customs continue to exist and overcome them is always crooked at least as to live as emigrants once exceeded.

A NOTE OF SUICIDE, Sara Malinarich (Chile) A woman sacrifices herself in a technological scene, in front of virtual witnesses and streets coexisting in time in different places. The screen is the suicide note, the physical support of a protest that overflows through an invisible mechanics that activates the self-destruction sequence. It is the suicide note that burns and sets fire to the woman, becoming the bonfire of her protests. 'Overflow' is a videocreation made in real-time with automated machines and telepresence systems (and a veiled tribute to José Val del Omar.) Credits: Cast: CAROLINA PRIEGO.
