the silver bullet from Sarah Janssen on Vimeo.
2-channel video installation, made for the exhibition 'technological singularity' at 'planetart', Amsterdam.
The title refers to human striving for perfection, invulnerability and immortality. The technological progress makes us wonder if we soon can create a man-like intelligent machine. By opposing found footage material from TV commercials on the left screen to self recorded material on the right, the work illustrates our hopes and fears regarding technology and the idea of the perfect human.
