Extensions

Hans op de Beek (BE 2009, 10:58 mins)
In terms of content, the animated film 'Extensions' deals with cultural and subcultural rituals, science and technology as extensions of the human body and as the physical manifestation of an unfaltering belief in progress, which is both redemptive and ethically problematic. The artist’s definition of the extension of the body is very broad, and comprises objects such as weapons, scanners, prosthetic devices, or spaces such as shopping malls or waiting rooms; anything that seems to make Western life easier, everything that serves to channel, automate and process it in terms of data, grids, and patterns.
