The Builders Association and dbox, SUPER VISION: CAROL
SUPER VISION tells three stories
1. As he crosses successive borders, a solitary traveller gradually is forced to reveal all of his personal information, until his identity becomes transparent, with no part of his life left outside the boundaries of datasurveillance.
2. A young woman (Jen), addicted to the white noise of constant connection, maintains a long-distance relationship with her Grandmother. As she makes efforts to digitally archive her Grandmother's past, the Grandmother slips into senility.
3. A father covertly exploits his young son's personal data to meet the demands of the family's lifestyle. This ploy escalates beyond the father's control, until he is compelled to disappear. His wife and son are left with a starkly diminished data portrait, and his escape is shadowed by the long reach of the datasphere.
Video Streaming: Family Scene 4 (Carol)
Constance De Jong: Kyle deCamp, who plays Carol, the mother, has a very short monologue. She is on stage alone and – for SUPER VISION – it is a very low-density moment in terms of sound and image. Do you remember - the backset has an illusion of moving forward, magnifying itself, until she is alone with the panes of the window, which are squared - a thematic element all through SUPER VISION.
