The overloaded information we receive in the digital space, whether voluntarily or passively, now plays a significant role in shaping our perspectives. The virtual world is becoming an extension of physical reality. I am fascinated by the concept of “Free Fall” theorized by German filmmaker Hito Steyerl, which describes the current landscape in a condition of free-falling into the abyss instead of holding to the orthodox linear system. With the new media and visualities “floating” in the hyperreality with us, I intend to explore the new ways for presentation of information and consequently the representation. This is especially the case after the covid-19 breakout in spring 2020. Therefore, I feel the urge to assess this contemporary condition using new media technologies. In this 3D animated sequence, an animated avatar will take an adventure through the hyperreal spaces. The project takes the covid-19 breakout as a fulcrum to invest in the pandemic experience and relating issues raised on the internet. At the end of this “adventure,” the avatar stands in the middle of an empty room. The ending questions the audience, “how can anyone contribute to the creation of this digital space relating to the representation of these themes?” Ideally, this procedure will take place in the form of asking the audience to print out a personal picture and put it up on a photo booth next to the video screening. I encourage everyone who sees this piece to also take a part in exploring the new representational freedom.
