Samuel Fouracre presents “D.^^.$.®.(dance.music.sex.romance)”

“D.^^.$.®. (Dance.Music.Sex.Romance)” is an ongoing video project that focuses on finding the human within the digital. This continually expanding, multi-channel immersive installation explores how the digital environment, particularly in the form of reconstructing and publicising our intimate experiences, directly influences our image of self and the implications this ego-theism has on romantic and erotic relationships. 

“D.^^.$.®.” takes the form of what Fouracre loosely terms ‘non-sequitur’ film-making. This technique references the formula of movie trailers, pop videos and online content where stories are suggested by short fragments and synchronous trivia. As such the work implies, but remains non- committal to any direct narrative arc. In “D.^^.$.®.” the performance of sexual personas and cinematic archetypes are not just the device of screen-based story-telling, but inform and shape our emotional experiences in a way that is all too real.
