A videographic session by l’Observatory of Unidentified Video that establishes reflections and parallels on euphoria, vertigo and loss induced by the media mirage and its effects. The incipient times of the first television and the endless expansion of the artificial towards unknown or perfectly known terrains. The media environment as a labyrinth with no way out for the human eye, intimacies managed by hermetic mechanisms with no possibility of response, the point of no return of synergies that never took place:

“Today, the generation that has learned more words from a machine than from the voice of its mother, or of another human being, has been formed in a physical and psychic environment that is increasingly intolerable. The communication of this generation has almost only developed in an immersive techno-environment whose consistency is purely semiotic”. (Bifo)

“Thousands of little eyes” alludes to the idea of many visions. If before this concept referred to the plurality of visions as an opening of possibilities and as an alternative to dominant tendencies, now this term speaks of the indiscreet and continuous presence of cybernetic artefacts always attentive to our way of looking and listening to the movement of our being. Dispersions in remote algorithmic profiles, captive redundancies in endless data flows, consumed imaginations and a ray of light announcing a crack in the reality.
