This video essay focuses on the nature and issues of the new technologies for recording body movements. From an inventory of the different ways of succumbing to bullets in video games to intensive surveillance through walls using Wi-Fi signals, via the use of beautifying filters and the analysis of individual steps as profiling methods, Julien Prévieux guides the viewer through territories oscillating between burlesque comedy and muted anguish. The artist has enlisted the services

of a veteran of motion-capture acting to embody his ideas and decipher the technological and political layers. This kinetic dissection allows us to grasp the effects of these technologies on our perception of

the body and human gestures, while hinting at a future in which our own movements could turn against us. Unless, that is, the film offers us some alternative avenues, inviting us to reinvent the way we move.
