Short excerpts from “oddly satisfying” internet videos are the source material for this piece of video art in which images are stripped of their context, and sounds are broken down into tiny loops in order to transform information into energy. Drawing you in like an elastic sculpture, this video floods you with impressions that simultaneously slip through your fingers. If you don’t want to drown, be an ocean. (Berlinale)
