“ Simonsong is a
video piece, a musical system that
exists only through a visual process, in this case a mockery of
technological hegemony in the arts, and particularly in the world of
contemporary music. In the most trivial representation of the digital
tool, up to 16 384 "mousists" (plastic mouse interpreters)
play virtuosos in the way of the child's game Simon. “
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.
