Swatted - Film - 20min - 2018
presented as part of the exhibition Panorama 20
Film
Online players describe their struggles with "swatting", a life-threatening cyber-harassment phenomenon that looms over them whenever they play. The events take shape through youtube videos and wireframe images from a video game.
The animation part was created from a program that modifies the display of the GTA V video game and that I developed especially for the film.
