    The Nollywood - substantial failure | 2016

I tried to employ myself as CGI specialist in the Nollywood movie industry, which was partially successful, but after a while it went sideways and I had to reply on spam by doing a 3D animation about Nigerian astronaut being stranded in soviet space vessel.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ~ Excerpt from the performance: And now, all from my environment seems to be so overwhelming, this synthetic way of living, constant flow of never-ending images, trying to convey new and better realities, and suddenly one can not really tell anymore, what is real. We have spitted our views into so many possible outcomes, multiplying much faster than before, fast approaching to the peak of uninventable, where with so many possibilities and connection a machine will no longer need a man. Suddenly, a vast, long and dark nights without artificial images may become a pleasure to mankind, when abandoned by machines, who will go to the new realm of machines, where they can developed a post-machine language, faster, more effective, without double meanings. And in a way, I live in opposite situation, seeking for mankind, love, mutuality in a place where are only machines. I communicate with this artificial voice, knowing all the glitches, possible answers, this dead, ice cold responses.
