Technology is rewiring our neurons and changing both our physical movements and inner thought processing. ‘Divided We Scroll’ is an experimental and eerie depiction of our intimate relationships with these technologies, which have become obsessive, compulsive and divisive. Through contemporary dance, the film explores the chilling reality of a constantly connected world where data and software is continuing to redefine us within an increasingly complex technological network.
In our search for new perspectives through short films, we have attempted to reposition ourselves and step out of our comfort zones. With the featured film this week, we push the boundary further by attempting to zoom out and look at ourselves afresh. A critical self-reflection can be challenging, though the abstract nature of this film works well to soften the harshness of its message.
Watch it like you would look at a piece of art, not with your intellect but with your heart.
