A STREET UNDER
Synopsis
A dispute through the verb, through cadence, a virtual political platform where the winner (will there be one?) is the best performer in a battle of hip hop rhymes. Moreover: a dispute within the error of the image, a battle within the system bug. Amidst these flaws, we review the power and control of people through social networks, “be yourself” as a discourse that monetizes lives, glorifying the notion of the self-determined subject of the West. The images are strange, but the world is much stranger. Algorithms enthrall us in their rhythms. (C. A)
