Image Against Oppression
"Audio Visual Live "
Image Against Oppression is an online audiovisual project using TouchDesigner and MIDI controllers to destruct and manipulate livestream visuals. Sampling sensitive imagery—animal attacks, game violence, media riots—the work explores “interface consciousness” by exposing latent violence and algorithmic control. It prompts visceral reactions and introspection on digital identity, collective behavior, and emotional manipulation in virtual space.​
Images of war stir intricate ethical tensions—between truth and aesthetics, legality and expression, documentation and narration. They do not merely depict; they define.
When tech corporations classify content as “sensitive,” it reflects a presumed collective judgment. But can sensitivity truly be shared? What form does such a collective consciousness take, and what imagined community sustains it? These questions expose the digital sphere as a site where norms are negotiated and perception reshaped.
This study presents internet-sensitive imagery with clarity and weight, tracing its rapid circulation, political symbolism, and the conflicted roles of viewers—at once gratified, absorbed, and manipulated by screens. As live-streamed panoramas unfold, they reveal obsession and provoke reflection. The interface—ambiguous and immersive—blurs virtual and real, linking artwork and audience in a space of unfamiliar purification, where perception itself is laid bare.
