Brief synopsis
»Anima Overdrive« // Panhans/Winkler, 2022 // 4k video, colour/sound, 4:19 min.
"Deliver, deliver, deliver, deliver, I'm your deliver delivery, I'm your delivery deliver delivery ...I deliver everything!" raps the 'delivery anti-heroine' in a battered quarterback outfit, alone in a kind of basement storage room. Her performance 'delivers' the sound of a rebellious exhaustion in a world increasingly dominated by algorithms and AI in the service of a turbo-accelerated platform capitalism, where everything, without exception, threatens to become a commodity, and we all breathless suppliers. The film plays with the form of the music video and the reference to the genre of 'underground rap', whose representatives do not belong to the commercial mainstream canon, and in contrast to it often distinguish themselves through 'socially conscious', partly also queer, or feminist forms and texts.
