“ Screensong is a video piece, a musical system that exists only through a visual process, in this case the representation of the machine eye trespassing into domestic and private space. Obsessed with analyzing the objects around him and transforming them into data, it itself becomes an audiovisual object with which the video plays. “

 

Desktopsongs is a cycle of video pieces questioning our relationship with technology. Each work - inspired by desktop movie practice - is a musical system dependent on a visual process, tending towards an economy of the device. The cycle includes Screensong, questioning data privacy, Simonsong, questioning technological hegemony in the world of contemporary music, Playpausesong, questioning mass media consumption, and Playersong, questioning the mediatization of weapons over the Internet.
