The House That Wishes You Well

"In The House That Wishes You Well, we discover a very American system: the connected doorbell. Fitted with a camera, it lets you know who's ringing the doorbell, so you can use an alert system to dissuade potential intruders. Everything is under control (or almost...). The two artists borrow a rhetorical and aesthetic power from online stocks of images, advertisements and web flows, bordering on a kind of cloud poetry. In fact, it's in purple clouds that police officers express their interest in this surveillance system that gluttonously consumes private data. Beneath its falsely ingenuous exterior, this film succeeds in unzipping our critical faculties and boosting our digital immunity.", Benoît Hické for Tënk
