Amos's World: Reality and fantasy merge in the World of Amos."Amos's World"creates an appropriately inclusive environment in which stories of individual hubris resisted collectively, lost souls in search of acts of networking, and events that turn lone discontent into collective tendencies.

In my current script conception, I also hope to build a virtual space that extends outwards and into which we can project our emotions and consciousness. This space is an arbitrary unit in our interconnection with the outside world, which points to countless other units. I'm not sure how to present this space, I want this space to be a real room that actually appears in my film, such as the room of the interviewee, the actor. In the era of mobile internet, we seem to have two living spaces, a real home and a virtual home.

I'm also thinking about how to get the interviewee to improvise. A story, an experience, a chat log to share? I contacted some of my friends and I asked them to prepare some of their own stories, they were born in the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. The dialogue in Cecile's work is very interesting. I am deeply impressed by the separation between the moving image and the sound, which is in line with the feeling I want to express: the actors are just separated units, they are skins, but the consciousness behind them can be projected by everyone, which can point to any individual, unit, pouch. He was like a puppet, or a disguise. We can appear in any form in these virtual spaces, we can project consciousness onto any object, and these consciousnesses stretch until they are submerged in the carnival of the digital crowd.

I was also inspired by the synthetic music in Cecile's work，each note seemed to swell, and the mood rose with it.

--我最近想要尝试一下做演员。(I'm trying to be an actor recently .)

--为什么？(Why？)

--也不能笼统的称之为“演员”，只是想做一点远离自己的事。(It can't be called an "actor" in general, but I just want to do something far away from myself.)

--那你可以假装自己是动物，猫，狗，花都可以。(You can pretend to be an animal, cat, dog, flower, no matter what.)

--昨天邻居家的猫跑丢了，到现在还没找到。(Yesterday, the neighbour's cat got lost, and they haven't found it yet.)

--你觉得它会去哪？(Where do you think it will go?)

--不知道，可能它伪装起来了，现在就在我们身边，还会跟你说早上好。(I don't know, maybe it's disguised, it's always with us, and it says good morning to you.)

--所以那只猫自由了。(So it's free.)

--这就是我想要的状态。(This is the state I want.)

Demo1:https://vimeo.com/754734861

Keyword:Disguise

I made a rough demo, in this video I shared a chat record with a friend, these conversations are very casual, but I am interested in the "camouflage" mentioned in the dialogue.The main issue of my current project also include some discussion of identity masquerading online, I hope they can generate some relevance. I also added some previously collected video archives, such as the masked person in the news report, which represents the disappearance and disguise of personal information to some extent, and in a "expressionless" news report, they seem to be carrying out an irresponsible carnival.

▶Question: How to avoid interviews appears in the form of documentaries?

In this demo, I completely separate the sound from the footage.I hope to make a hint to let the audience reflect on these sounds(narration), whether the consciousness behind the voice really comes from these actors you see on the screen, or they are just some "puppets", these consciousness does not come from them, I hope to express this kind of alienation of people, and the uncertainty brought about by online platforms, everyone in the digital community may become such a puppet, and under these "skins", is the carnival of consciousness.

▶Questions:

1/ Does the individual experience accurately point to the creative context, and if some revisions are needed.

2/ Is there a better way to replace video archives, or better add layers to these individual experiences?

3/ Do these narrations of individual experiences cause misunderstanding?

When I see this photo, I had a connection with it, although it is not directly related to my project, but the abstract structure built by these rough materials intrigued me, a structure that can extend indefinitely, a unit that is constantly deforming.

▶Text Draft:

Imagine a space, an ever-expanding space. In this space, red represents enthusiasm, consciousness is good at disguise, time is constant; It is easy to get lost in the fog. It is not necessary to confirm the coordinates. We are all waiting for the next exciting point to arrive, or subvert this space, Physical characteristics are randomly combined as desired; Control temperature and humidity; The hands move in the opposite direction, all the clumsy rumours wait to be the truth; The consciousness hidden under the skin is about to move, this, is a real space.

▶Questions:

1/What do you want to make?

2/What's your fundamental topic?

3/Why you would you like to show in this way?

4/How do these materials come back to the thematic narrative?

▶Update:

This video is a continuation project after my first project "improvisation",but this time I would like to give some further discussion, so I only took a point from a previous project to start. I choose the issue which about the disguise of identities online.(EX.Erase personal information/Masked/Robots that automatically send political propaganda).

▶Ideas from Tutorials:

1/ The actors' own disguises

I shoot this demo, the actor was in a room with artificial lights and half-hided curtain, you can see very little of the outside space. I hope the space could not only exist as a normal living room. That may be another level of disguise, the actor hided in an unknown space, she was telling you a story in first perspective. Did this story really happen to this actor? Maybe the actor can also wear a mask to hide her identity.

2/ Collect materials related to the keyword "Mask"

bank robbery/carnival costume/face bikini

3/ https://agnieszkapolska.net/iamthemouthII.html

In the video “I Am the Mouth II” (2014), a big, animated mouth describes how the words, in the form of a sound wave, are finding their way through various materials, including the body of a listener. The artificial, disembodied mouth stands for the artist’s possibilities of having an influence on her surroundings. In the work that literally „speaks for itself“, one can find references to Samuel Beckett‘s monodrama „Not I“, as well as to the Internet phenomenon ASMR (videos made with the aim of producing a „brain massage“ sensation in the viewer).

I was inspired by the word"monodrama". It can be both internal and external, and internally it is an inner monologue, an actor's self-talk. Externally, it is facing people outside the theatre, to a group of invisible people.

I had an online chat with a friend this week and she dictated her story, then I recorded her words so the story is told in the first person. This story is about an experience of chatting with strangers online, in this story I tried to find some keywords and interesting information and expressions.

Story Link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uZKf4i8QpAcVBRxEdinB5ocY9Tq9Ccq_/view?usp=sharing

Keywords: Profile/ Nickname/ Functions of the Software/ Air/ Living environment/ Dilemma/ information leakage/ Surveillance

This story reminded me of two parallel space, the woman in her bedroom and a man(unable to confirm gender） smoking in the park. But they met each other in a virtual and invisible space, they shared their stories ,talked about the living environment, air pollution, that's a nice point to connect with the topic. For example, they could only imagine the appearance and personal experiences through abstract characters and nicknames, there is a mutual disguised relationship between them. They're like two ghosts talking about ethereal things，everything could be fake and everything could be truth.In this virtual place, “ghosts” are desperately looking for spiritual pleasure to escape from reality.
