dreaming of a ✨coup d'état ✨ is a composition of videos, audios and texts extracted from Twitter using a procedure known as web scraping.
There are 2 video fragments that circulated widely on the internet: a school for digital influencers (year unknown) and the fateful video of gym instructor Khing Hnin Wai against the backdrop of a military coup in Myanmar (2021). A fragment of David Bowie interviewed by Jeremy Paxman on the BBC Newsnight program (1999). Finally, a collection of tweets containing the word COUP posted between February 19 and May 13, 2021; one of these tweets gives the work its name.
