Anan Fries: Ressurect in Peace (R.I.P.) - NEXT LEVEL

“RIP is part of an ongoing research on interspecies-grief.” - Anan Fries

More than a hundred years ago the passenger pigeon was wiped out by humans, now it is being bid farewell with an immersive ritual that combines live performance and a digital environment. “R.I.P.” is a ceremonial admission of guilt, a speculative immersion, a lament in computer graphics.
