For Real, For Real, For Real This Time / Zares, zares, tokrat pa zares

2023, Switzerland, 9'
The animated film explores possibilities of a feminist appropriation of digital spaces and technologies. An older woman moves and dances lustily through a space in the middle of a server farm and, together with a snail, covers it with a shiny layer of slime. The myth of cyberspace as an immaterial space is questioned, slimed, feminised and embodied.
Animirani film raziskuje možnosti feministične apropriacije digitalnih prostorov in tehnologij. Starejša ženska se premika in poželjivo pleše po prostoru sredi strežniške farme ter ga skupaj s polžem prekrije z bleščečo plastjo sluzi. Mit o kibernetskem prostoru kot nematerialnem prostoru je postavljen pod vprašaj, razkužen, feminiziran in utelešen.
