Tensions presents a program of experimental videos articulating diverse perspectives on human interaction with technology and virtual environments. The eight selected works trace a path from the techno-utopian optimism of the post-war era to the apocalyptic disenchantment of techno-junk, exploring the frictions between surveillance, vulnerability, memory, the body, and simulacrum. This program invites reflection on how technology intertwines with our needs, values, and capabilities, and considers what it means to redefine the human scale in the digital age.
