This episode of our 2021 video series is a collaboration between two Indonesian artists: Filmmaker Adythia Utama and musician Riar Rizaldi put a perspective on how freely we receive any kind of information through the screens of our gadgets during the pandemic.

2021, the plagues continue, endless information and entertainment stream throughout the digital realm. Images strobe rapidly, penetrating your tired eyes. In this dystopic imagery of 2021, someone recites a Qur’an verse on the impending doom. This is a reflection and a prognosis of the coming years.

Pixel Doom is a collaborative effort between Adythia Utama (as a filmmaker) & Riar Rizaldi (as a musician) to reflect the year 2021. Riar recites Surah Al-Muddaththir ayah 1–20 about the day of resurrection while Adythia responds with some footages that he watched on the internet during the pandemic, shot through the TV pixels. The idea is to put into perspective on how freely we receive any kind of information through the screens of our gadgets.
