An examination of Strange Days as it relates to police brutality in America and the likelihood of conviction following a recording of police murdering African-Americans. Support Renegade Cut Media through Patreon: https://ift.tt/19EGd2l
Strange Days is a 1995 science fiction film directed by Kathryn Bigelow. On the eve of the new millennium, Los Angeles is in chaos. Protesters believe they are living in a police state, and famous rap artist and activist Jeriko One has been murdered. Lenny, an ex-cop, deals in clips – the memories of individuals who record their experiences with a device called a SQUID. Lenny and his close friend Mace learn through one of these “clips” that the LAPD murdered Jeriko One. Lenny and Mace hope to prove this. What’s fascinating about Strange Days is that it depicts a future of oppression – a common dystopic science fiction premise – but it purposefully eschews the trope that usually links them all together. In a sci-fi dystopia, something common is scarce – either through a lack of resources or because it is illegal. Not something like the black market science fiction technology of Strange Days. Something everyday.

This machinima, shot in Second Life, documents L1Aura Loire’s SL6B virtual art installation. The first part is the narrative of the installation; it is the year 2499 on the gloomy meteor. The second part of the machinima draws on the artist statement for the installation.
The installation was originally for the sixth birthday celebration of Second Life, which took place on a “meteor” that was far from the sun. In making my piece, I imagined what role virtual worlds would have for the poor, stuck meteor people, and that is what is documented in this video. My own vision of the future is much more optimistic, and although I see the compensatory function of virtual worlds (and popular culture in general) as an important one, I have also come to see the act of toggling, or switching, between different modes of subjectivity that will become more prevalent as augmented reality forms proliferate to be just as interesting.
