Emile Zile: We Are As Gods

​​

We Are as Gods explores the informal, spontaneous commentary that accompanies cooperative videogame streaming. Through a series of portraits of gamers in the act of live streaming, we hear dialogue that is simultaneously directed at the players themselves, at a remote audience, at a rival player of the game and at an anonymous third party. Using longform recording, stream of consciousness rants and 3D animation, We Are As Gods seeks to find the human in the network, the flesh in the data packet.
