Roberta Fidora - Mover
You didnโt think weโd just be able to exit through our imagination, did you? Having failed to eliminate the pink haired Roberta and detecting a โhuman input errorโ, a mysterious business entity turns its attention to manufacturing and churning out a vast ARRAY! of products gleaned from extracted data and containing delicious chunks garnered from its human input; distilling our test subject into cleaning sprays, tinned hair, face mayonnaise and a pink beverage called Synthy Pop (which has been known to cause side effects) amongst other things. You can only leave once you have become a product.
The video for โMoverโ continues the themes of the previous videos around imagination, technological outpacing, churn and the distorting spectacle of the artist in a world of algorithmic approval and branding.
How the video was made:
โMuch like the animated video for Here Come the Lucky Ones, Mover was made over several months with faithful DaVinci Resolve software, lots of pink cellophane, stock footage, miniature versions of, ahem, well known food brands, a multitude of pink and orange plinths my dad 3D printed for me and a bunch of old (and possibly unsafe) beauty products Iโve collected from the 1950s and 1960s."
ABOUT ROBERTA FIDORA
Falling somewhere between Bet Lynch, David Lynch, Laurie Anderson and Gerry Anderson, with polite nods to Toyah, Amanda Lear, Siouxsie, Alison Moyet and Sparks, Roberta Fidora is a musician, amateur biography writer and person of disinterest based at the bottom of the UK (previously releasing music under the moniker CURXES) whose output has incorporated everything from broadcasts in dark forests and giant dancing bear puppets to depressed budgerigars, abandoned rocket testing sites and human taxidermy displays, getting shout-outs from the likes of MOJO magazine, The Independent, The Guardian and BBC6Music along the way. She has also contributed to the field recording project Cities & Memory, with the track Huygens appearing on the accompanying CD to Electronic Soundโs special field recording issue, as well as numerous other electronic/electroclash/synthpop releases which can be found on her website: https://www.robertafidora.com.
