Alternate by Makina XING, uses meticulously constructed visuals and animation, accompanied by static and ominous sound design to give audiences a bird’s eye view of industrial society and living space in modern-day China,.A fast-paced flicker film that takes you through the pipes, streets, and windows of China, Alternate highlights the reality of everyday people whose vulnerability is on full display, forced to live under the watchful eye of their governing body. This film gives the viewer access to the perspective of those being “watched” and those doing the watching, placing us on the ground floor, maybe even further below, and inching us ever so closely to the highest perch with each new image.
