The second interactive animation by Michael Frei and Mario
von Rickenbach presents another compelling meditation on the human condition.
This time it has to do with crowd mentality and the clean slate mind of a
child. Growth implies conformity and willing to fall over the precipice if
others do so. Even if they reject to follow others they will eventually be
misled by somebody else. The dark chasms kids fall into
is dark and milky and resembles intestines, and digestion is painful. It is
invigorating to participate in a massive flapping of hands or singing in unison
or swimming through dark waters of life in company, but do our attempts at
establishing connection with others really bring us any closer to understanding
our own life? Or could this game be about something else entirely?
