The work explores this overlap between divine communication and technological immersion in the contemporary media landscape. It draws parallels between the speech-like fluency of glossolalia and the subtle, often subliminal ways that screen technologies infiltrate perception. The work suggests an uncomfortable resonance between religious authority and digital capitalism, as both rely on our submission.
The film features an automated montage of actors portraying an Amish carpenter and an angel intercut with 3D digital reconstructions. Two videos toggle at random intervals, suspending the viewer in a disjointed perceptual state where attention continuously shifts. Programmed lighting synchronized with the video accompanies Morton Feldman's piano piece performed on six slightly detuned pianos.
