Future Gallery, Berlin, is hosting an exhibition of new works by Spiros Hadjidjanos, on view through January 28, 2017.Crowd Simulation Breakdown incorporates crowd simulation technology–a technique used in film to create virtual cinematography. This work is Hadjidjanos’s first experiment with the process of simulating the movement of a large number of entities with implicated collective social behavior based on group dynamics. The video exemplifies the breakdown of various simulated scenes in which a crowd runs inexplicably while a densely charged audio plays. Sampling sound from moments after the most fatal suicide attacks of 2016, Hadjidjanos merges in his video work actual audio captured by people’s personal smart phones, or less often, the media. The piece is therefore constructed of actual sourced and artificially generated footage that leads the viewer into a sort of contextualized conflict where reality and authenticity are questioned.The exhibition is on view at Future Gallery, Schöneberger Ufer 59, 10785 Berlin, Germany.
