State-Screen, Society-Screen and Body-screen Videoartistic representations of the uses of technologies during the pandemic

Abstract

The objective of this research is the analysis of a corpus of videoartistic pieces made during the pandemic within the framework of the subject Audiovisual Research. Among them, we decided to focus attention on three, as they served us to think about the use of technologies and, in particular, the function of screens in the pandemic: De la seguridad a la privacidad, Zoomers and Panvid. Each of these pieces allowed us to think of three uses of the screens: a) the State-screen as an exterior and vertical screen, that is, as “over-screen” that thematizes the visual power of the State (and the possibility of a new policy of totalitarian dyes); b) the Society-screen as a screen between the between and horizontal, that is, as "between-screen" that reveals, in the Foucaultian way, that power everywhere (and that this "pulverized power" implies the possibility of a new sociology, metaphysics, epistemology and equally totalitarian economy); and c) the Body-screen as an interior screen, as "inter-screen" (which reveals a new dystopian ontology).
