Film Video description and panels of frame captures from 'VR: A MOVIE' (1996) by Al Razutis (from web and FaceBook)
VR: A MOVIE takes up where 'AMERIKA' and 'A Message From Our Sponsor' left off, and is a compilation (stock/appropriated footage) from 20 features, particularly those that depict or deal with 'virtual reality' and synthetic worlds of shifting metaphors. It is also a critique of VR mythologies, especially as they depict women and slaves to a tech ego, and a criticism of the narcissism, power-tripping, and the collective fascination that Hollywood film has with its own techno-dick. Sections by theme: Part 1: 'The Set up', Part 2: 'Virus Activation', Part 3: 'Cut to the Chase', Intermission: 'Off World', Part 4: 'Punishment Park', Part 5: 'Meet Your Maker' Taking as a further trip into 'metalanguage', where previous films in 'Amerika' had left us, and now taking it into virtual reality, the tech and their worlds, right from screen to a 'situationist' re-mix, with some new and extreme forms of both psycho and semiotics, this extreme example of montage and appropriation delivers us to a dystopian view of VR.
