TITLE DETAILS

GI, your helicopters fall from the sky like broken birds

2026-03-16 · 5 min · Not rated

GI, your helicopters fall from the sky like broken birds examines the visual culture of war games and the ideological ease with which conflict is converted into spectacle. With a documentary inflection, the film isolates the recurrent devices of the military videogame and turns them into objects of analysis. Its central concern is distance. Interfaces, crosshairs, surveillance views, and elevated perspectives reorganise destruction into something clean, legible, and remote. Romanello, Madrussa, and Mennella make visible the visual regime through which war is formatted in advance for command, abstraction, and consumption.

Weeping Willow 3: The Last Night2026

Weeping Willow 3: The Last Night concludes Merlin Dutertre’s Weeping Willow trilogy by returning once more to the unstable contact zone between ordinary lived space and globally circulating fictional imagery. Pikachu, Spider-Man, Mario, and other familiar figures inhabit a recognisable real-world environment under the sign of imminent catastrophe. Convinced that tonight is the end of the world, they move through the film less as heroic protagonists than as displaced witnesses, exhausted icons suddenly exposed to finitude. Built by embedding images found on YouTube into real settings, the film turns some of the most recognisable characters of mass culture into fragile presences. Dutertre does not use them for parody or nostalgic citation alone. Instead, he relocates them within a subdued visual field where the comic, the melancholic, and the apocalyptic coexist without collapsing into a single register.

This is Not a Game2021

Angela Su’s fictional artist Rosie Leavers is the last remaining person to upload her consciousness to a video game. Contemplating during a pandemic year which also saw people’s resistance movements in many parts of the world, the work pinpoints the uncanny affinities between gaming and warfare strategies. They have mutually informed the infrastructure of both worlds since time immemorial when diplomatic conflicts played out on the battlefield of the 64 squares of a chess board to flight simulation technologies which were adapted to shape gaming experiences as we know it now. When the conflict is between the state and its people, she speculates that gaming strategies empower civilians in resistance movements to counter imperialism through its own operative logic. But once we upload our consciousness, are we able to return to the sensibilities and political motivation that inspired the revolution to begin with?

edgy time with mom (twee whistler)

I often find myself analyzing fan communities; I am fascinated by how their social hierarchy is based on knowledge rather than economic power or by how their productivity is capable of overcoming and stratifying above that of the original product. I was wondering what it would mean to place in the same economic system fan art that was, in turn, the same product (an artwork) offered by another artist. Besides questioning the meaning of authorship, quotationism, copyright, production and post-production I want to play on the limits of privacy and emotional attachment in a fan vs celebrity dimension. I have therefore developed a complex fan-fiction where I am the girlfriend of an esteemed artist, Jon Rafman, who now becomes meme, now "senpai" (a name often used in manga by shy girls referring to a boy, perhaps barely known, which they have fallen in love with), now a sort of contemporary art Justin Bieber ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
