The short film Alienated redesigns the soundtrack of a past family film footage, and reconstructs this daily sequence from the perspective of an electronic voiceover. Under the perspective of a digital era, the family that enjoyed intimacy and personal contact in reality becomes “aliens visiting the earth” as described by the voiceover; language has become decipherable data flow in this case. Yet, the fact that understanding of intimacy and love is lost within the digital era is what actually makes viewers the ones that are alienated.
Alienated
短片《Alienated》将一段来自过去的胶片家庭录像重新配音，以电子女声的视角重构了这一日常片段。在数码时代的视角下，享受现实中亲密接触的家庭成为了旁白口中“造访地球的外星人”，语言成为了不可懂的乱码电流。而实际上，在数码时代失去了对现实亲密关系与爱的理解，才使观者成为了真正被异化的对象。
