DIGITAL TAPE is a project that invites people to question the speed at which we consume streaming content today and the place we still give to physical objects. By offering the film to be watched on a VCR, it deliberately creates a contrast with digital platforms and reactivates forgotten gestures. This technical constraint becomes an experience, a first step towards a slower, more conscious and more ritualized way of consuming moving images. DIGITAL TAPE thus aims to spark the audience’s curiosity about their own habits and to restore meaning to the idea of “taking time” with a work.
