WAKE ME UP AT 4:20

Emmanuel Van der Auwera’s newest work is a video that uses novel imaging technologies to explore the use of avatars, identity politics and recent internet trends dealing with YouTube celebrities and suicide memes. The work was developed following a residency at the Brain and Emotion Laboratory (University of Maastricht, The Netherlands) and builds on his previous films and installations (including A Certain Amount of Clarity, VideoSculptures I - XV and Missing Eyes).
