SPECULUM: Dynamo Twins

Dynamo twins is part of the SPECULUM: 10 Characters series, created by the Dutch collective SMACK. In Dynamo twins, two characters are placed on each side of a mechanism that makes them go up or down stairs forever, but without moving from the spot. SMACK is a collective formed by Ton Meijdam (Geldermalsen, Netherlands, 1973), Thom Snels (Tilburg, Netherlands, 1978), and Béla Zsigmond (Budapest, Hungary, 1975). This artistic collective uses 3D animation to create figurative videos that explore collective behaviour, digital identity, surveillance culture and the omnipresence of brands.
