Unidentified Arcade

The video shows children horsing around in a playground. They see and play with 'forms' that are not really there. The forms 'react' to the children's actions (or to the lack of action). We see a reality that changes, a fascinating and fantastic event, of the kind the media like to focus on today. Using 'keying', i.e. filtering out a strong colour, and 3D the forms are first created and then pasted in the video: a technical tour de force (of which the viewer is probably unaware) which barely takes a few seconds to unfold before our eyes. As this is a silent movie, the viewer focuses entirely on the visual aspect.

Between different parts of the video 'arcade shots' are shown, explaining what is happening or what is about to happen.
