Synopsis:
In Overcome, London-based digital video artist Guli Silberstein imagines potential futures spanning utopia and dystopia, via AI-inspired and AI-generated imagery, highlighting an unrelenting tension between humankind and technology. Themes such as transhumanism, embodiment, power relations, and the bleed between virtual worlds and reality—plus notions of a digital consciousness—are woven into its narrative. As the voice states, "Life is a dream of Time," hinting at how technology can allow our lives, bodies, and minds to extend across various dimensions.
Overcome relies on a visionary language populated by monsters, devils, and masks, addressing both perceptual shifts and the shape-shifting construction of identity. There is a nod to expressionist painting reminiscent of Ensor or Otto Dix, and their critiques of social classes and power structures. Adopting a storytelling approach, the perpetual morphing and shifting of figures, spaces, and objects is reinforced by an upbeat techno track—Karthago by ORYMA."
