Through the recreation of a utopian land, we present an immersive experience. \n\nThe Unreal is a conceptual appropriation of techno-romantic and colonial ideals. The route, marked by a speculative derive along a path of spiritual transcendence, takes the therapeutic and meditative narrative concerning the \u2018oceanic\u2019 and \u2018pacific\u2019 feeling of freedom associated with the techno-liberal dream. The viewer is promised a path towards individual freedom conquering the infinite. A smooth female voice-over leads a contradictory narrative to exalt the failure of techno-capitalism alternatives and the colonisation of all imagined spaces.\n\nThis journey is an invitation to explore the contradictions between techno-liberal rhetoric and the disregarded geological materiality of media. The dematerialisation and deterritorialization of the digital have been defined by natural metaphors that mirror rhetoric of digital emancipation and cultural hegemony of Silicon Valley. Under the slogans of \u2018innovation\u2019 and \u2018progress\u2019, we have voluntarily forgotten and rejected the physical, material and residual condition of technology.\nIn light of the eco-catastrophe that is forging a need for new vocabularies and imaginaries to refer to the materiality of technology, The Unreal offers a reflective scenario set to the Post-Anthropocene era.","space":"For the exhibition, the immersive experience will be reinforced by an installation accompanying the video, projected in a big screen in a dark room. By creating a space of self-care dressed in soft materials and comfortable seating on the floor, we will emphasise the meditative intention of the film. \n\nThe Unreal (Credits)-  2 versions: Spanish and English\n00:13:50\nVisuals: Sive Hamilton Helle\nConcept and text: Gloria L\u00f3pez Cleries\nVoice English: Lucy Wilson\nMusic: Ernesto Ojeda","artists_proposal":null,"members":[{"names":"Sive","surname":"Hamilton Helle","email":"sivehamilton@gmail.com","dni_type":"Other","dni":"890824-4620","address":"Rubingatan 27, 42153 V\u00e4stra Fr\u00f6lunda","city":"Gothenburg","nacionality":"Norwegian","country_id":"212","birthdate":"1989-08-23T22:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1989-08-23T22:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+4793261027","web":"https:\/\/cargocollective.com\/sivehamilton"}],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/359597162\/8aacd7834a","audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"names":"Gloria","surname":"L\u00f3pez Cleries","email":"glorialopezcleries@gmail.com","dni_type":"DNI","dni":"20850929A","address":"Calle Alzira, 47","city":"Guadassuar","nacionality":"Spanish","country_id":"71","birthdate":"1988-03-06T23:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1988-03-06T23:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+46737746963","web":"www.glorialopezcleries.com"}
