As the camera slowly rotates, the familiar visual language of Windows XP overlays itself into the scene: transparent pixel grids, the taskbar, and the recycle bin. Each flicker of the interface responds as though to unseen clicks; drag marks, smudges, and distorted traces of human interaction; highlighting the tension between human imperfection and the machine’s logic. As the sequence develops, the overlay grows more precise, stripped of artifacts, more mechanical in rhythm. A heartbeat emerges on the soundtrack, synchronizing with the overlays’ pulse. The scene concludes with a digital flatline. The man remains fixed at his desk as the digital backdrop continues to unfold; an endless loop of generation, interface, and unseen labor.
