Los Dias y Los Noches de as Muertas

"'Los Dias y Los Noches de las Muertas' is a hypermedia kinetic fiction piece created by Francesca da Remini. Though the work highlights revolts worldwide, one of its main focuses was the violent treatment of demonstrators by police at the 2001 G8 summit in Genoa. The work was also inspired by a meeting with Ricardo Dominguez, whose work on the Electronic Disturbance Theater Timeline highlighted the war waged against Mexian Zapatistas in 1998. Some of the work's central themes are anti-violence, peaceful protest, and anti-globalism, along with the excess of global capitalism.

When entering the site, a 25-minute audio recording plays narration, music, crying, shouting, and other sounds denoting violence and heartbreak. In addition to providing links to resources and descriptions of the G8 revolt, a pop-up window displaying four pieces of constantly changing text and imagery are also provided. The images consist of violence, capitalism, graffitti, and protest, while the text speaks of world peace, space exploration, economics, unity, and world domination. Also available is a long page of credits, attributing the concept, coding, and graphics to Francesca da Rimini and the sound to Michael Grimm and Kevin Henderson. Additionally, financial assistance is credited to the Visual Arts Craft Fund of the Australia Council." -- Kathleen Zoller, The Progressive Dinner Party Restored
