Dull Spots of Greenish Colours / Medle lise zelenkastih barv

Sasha Svirsky (Wait a Second!)
2024, Germany, 10’32”

The war for our attention has suddenly become an actual war. Information technologies appear not just as mere means for somebody’s ends but as one of the acting forces. We have no control over them and are doomed to scroll through the newsfeed.

Vojna za našo pozornost je nenadoma postala resnična vojna. Informacijske tehnologije se ne kažejo več le kot golo sredstvo za dosego tujih ciljev, temveč kot ena od delujočih sil. Nad njimi nimamo nobenega nadzora in smo obsojeni le še na drsenje po novicah.
