PACIFIC VEIN takes us through a painterly panorama of the US West. Julian Assange stands between imperial, Roman fake buildings as a soda maker and ponders the digitisation of our world. Around him, hippies, artists and homeless people search for meaning while their messages are captured by surveillance cameras. Media and fictional scenes merge hypnotically with documentary footage. The empire is diligent (self-optimisation) and nervous (military). The American Dream glitched into a ghostly autosuggestion. Where is the enemy and who has the image rights?
