SCI FI realism - visual language
In 2015 Eric Zepka in the article Science Fiction Realism published by Furtherfield wrote on sci-fi images and their “meaning”. He sees them as a kind of folk language for common experience within a technoscientifically oriented world. Reading it made me feel sad.
Is it about fleeing reality - escaping responsability - creating a dream, a nightmare ... is this us? Give me Ursula Le Guin’s words.
With visual language, very quickly we get to a stranger and more indeterminate range of science fiction possibilities than narrative tends to map out for us........If our environments advance exponentially quicker than any generational or traditional mythology, what sort of language can we have for expression?
A world not of local cultures, but of computational production. Here anyone can know anything, it doesn’t matter where you’re from.
The real is replaced by the potential.

What is the language to talk about the world? If we turn to artists’ visualizations, what does that tell us about languages we speak, and ones we read? What does the graphing of incomprehensible mechanisms tell us in turn about art and its history? The machine’s narratives tend to drown out any functional reality. Genre storytelling tropes become repurposed as collective cultural ideas.
In the realm of speculation, anything is possible, and nothing is fully acceptable.
Is this about fleeing reality - escaping responsability - creating a dream, a nightmare ... is this us? We are the aliens.
But maybe I should try to see and read this in the frame of ostranenie or defamiliarization or estrangement as first used by Viktor Shklovsky in 1917; it refreshes human perception and revitalizes the experience of being alive?

Exorcise Willow
2011
Video
720 x 480 px (looped)
Willow Smith, meet Linda Blair, meet Giselle Zatonyl, a video and multimedia artist with an innate skill for remixing the past with the present. Exorcise Willow mashes original footage from William Friedkin’s “The Exorcist” with the 2010 breakout hit “Whip My Hair” by Willow Smith. The synchronization, uncanny, the result, undeniably hip. The age of viral videos, YouTube re-mixing, and Internet memes is prime source material for her conceptual remaking of classics.
