How close do you have to get to be part of this? A mobile phone screen was filmed through a microscope, while a social media feed was open. The soundtrack is based on audio samples from the same source. An abstract journey into and through the landscape of the smallest entities in our digital images.
FEED is a collaborative project by visual artist Michgael Etzensperger and electronic music producer Mateo Hurtado. As this piece emerged from an artistic dialogue, we share authorship of it and would like to be acknowledged by both parties.

Michael Etzensperger, Mateo Hurtado
Michael Etzensperger, born in 1982 in Winterthur, Switzerland, holds a degree from the ZHdK (BA in Art and Media, Focus on Photography) and an MFA (Institut Kunst, FHNW Basel) in Fine Arts. He has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions in Switzerland and abroad. Michael Etzensperger's film work is generally non-narrative with a strong tendency towards abstraction.
Mateo Hurtado, born in 1985 in Switzerland, is a graphic designer, illustrator and creator of electronic music. After studying illustration and fine arts, he developed an interest in techno and experimental music of an intuitive and analogue nature. Deeply inspired by the surrealist movement, dark symbolism and ritualistic incantations, his music seeks to conjure up hidden and impossible images and bring to light the indecipherable messages buried in the unconscious.
