The video work portrays a flight through snowy mountain panoramas. The images appear like elaborately animated digital worlds in a computer game – except they are real. The Rhythm & Blues soundtrack accompanies a computer- generated voice stating, “We wear masks just like you. We are replacing things with math, while your ideas are building up in your body like fat. [...] Sorting algo plugs in, for your specific age group. [...] We are performing your last cognitive upgrade.” These statements counteract the sublime beauty of the images. The viewers are observing a computer in its “idle time”: the time it has nothing to do as if the computer fills time with images processed during the day – pictures reminiscent of television footage, previously shown when stations were off-air.
