About The Artwork

All video content has been ripped from the the web and destroyed in both a digital and analogue manner
In this post Internet era knowledge is readily available and easily accessible world wide, data passes through our brains continuously, potentially leading to an age of information overload and coinciding with automated industrial scale production for mass consumption;
The destruction of the footage in the video is a reflection on how information, data and mass production are overwhelming and infecting our systems.
Motion, data moshing and Iframe destruction techniques, hacked analogue hardware and video feedback is used to visually represent the progressive structure of the track, presenting a dynamic, integrated audio/visual emersion into mass production.
This video is quite controversial as all the content have been ripped from the internet and then glitched out in Analogue and Digital manner.
still, if you read the description below the video you can tell me wether that would suit or not.
it has been produced in collaboration with Visual Artist Eleanor Greenleaf and Music producer TSVI; a screen is required for display

About Matteo Zamagni

Matteo Zamagni's practice encompasses visual arts, multimedia installations, film production, and electronic music. Combining these unique yet interlinked contemporary technologies with oracular themes, Zamagni reflects on the environmental, economic, and social turbulence of today.

Zamagni’s practice offers a holistic commentary on the correlations between disaster capitalism and the Earth's ecosystems. Using analytical geoscientific tools, VR/AR/MR, real-time generative imaging, world-building, photogrammetry, physics simulations, and CGI techniques, his artworks simulate and combine elemental natural forms with immersive media. This has included procedurally generated fractals, local reconstructions of existing terrain via LiDAR point clouds, and macro-scale aerial views of the earth. The resulting works are often stacked composites of recurring patterns in tangible and notional structures, depicting a complex continuum of local-global phenomena (from densely overpopulated spaces to climatological models).

Zamagni creates accessible, interactive entry-points for participants, who in turn, embody the artist's exploration of the entanglements of critical-gaze, agency, human-machine perception, tracking the evolution of post-anthropocentric consciousness fostered by an entangled technosphere and biosphere. His music production project, Seven Orbits, provides a further platform for playful experimentation with audio-visual experiences. Immersive audio-visual live sets and a recent EP released with the Shanghai-based SVBKVLT label make use of a broad palette of post-club stimuli that play with and confound audience perception. An experimental form of experience-hacking and inducing altered states that reflect the vertigo of Zamagni’s machine-vision driven visual art.
