Performed, Directed and Edited by Amir B. Ash The video is an excerpt from visuals, recorded live during COLDSTREAM A/V live set, performed by Idlefon(music) and Amir B Ash(visuals) at MUTEK CONNECT 2021. https://mutek.org/en/artists/idlefon-… The music is Idlefon’s rework of “Two Lands”, originally produced by Temp-Illusion, and released as part of “PEND Reworks” album https://zabtesote.bandcamp.com/album/… About the performance: COLDSTREAM tells the tale of Collapse. How the pressures of a ruthless sociopolitical system can crush and dispose of us in an automated manner. How a seemingly self-contradicting news stream can virtually turn citizens into “Hyper-Normalized” beings on a collective level and how rough personal experiences can trigger full-blown dehumanization for each of us. COLDSTREAM portraits a bleak image of the current global state through an ominous narrative, a state with not so much hope to be found.
