This experimental digital work is based on an idea put forth in David Foster Wallace's novel Infinite Jest, which is about a film so entertaining, that its viewers lose all interest in anything other than repeatedly viewing it, and thus eventually die. I always fantasised about what ‘the Entertainment’ or ‘the samizdat’ as it is referred to in the book would resemble in reality. Animated GIFs as a medium are so dreamy and mesmerising, so a collage made of layered pulsating oversaturated GIFs is what I imagined this idea would look like.
