Description

My Generation is a video installation featuring a supercut compilation of found webcam footage showing infuriated gamers screaming and convulsing while physically attacking technology. The degraded video runs on an outdated computer whose battered parts are scattered around the floor. The supposedly entertaining activity of playing games is here linked to disturbing feelings of violence and depression, illustrating the frustration of networked life.

My Generation is a video collage of kids freaking out while playing videogames. It runs on an old broken computer (that still works).
