Piles / Chris Kerich (US)
Piles is a durational video performance piece about bodies. It consists of a collection of over 22 hours of video recordings, livestreamed on Twitch, of the piling up of dead or unconscious bodies in seven different video games. The piece programmatically switches between and juxtaposes these videos, calling attention to how different video games conceptualize, and enforce, their inherent views on death and the body.
