Flashing Violence
Ieva Jakuša
# “We should be more involved with what we create and more aware of how we consume it.”
Every day a huge number of extremely violent videos is posted on digital platforms, even though content moderators try to filter out the worst. This interactive installation puts you in their shoes and questions who should take responsibility for the horrible scenes that are out there. Is it up to the platforms to solve the problem, or could you also play a part? On the outer wall of the installation, a blurred projection of graphic violence lures you in – after all, brutal images are intriguing. Who enters in spite of the warning gets to see the sharp version. As the successive videos become more violent, it is for you to decide whether to ban them from the internet or not.
