The City (Part 2)In The City, the whale continues its search for connection, venturing into the urban environment. Despite its size, glowing bioluminescence, and sounds, the whale goes unnoticed as people remain absorbed in their screens.As the whale moves through the city, its echolocation rings illuminate rooms and entire buildings, but they are ignored. The spaces are filled with cables and wires, and the office hums with the sounds of dial-up internet, answering machines, and fax machines.The video ends with an the sound of dial-up internet and an outdated ICQ chat box showing the status "OFFLINE / DISCONNECTED."R U There? is a 4-part video series that explores the meaning of connection in modern society. The series follows a whale using bioluminescent echolocation, whale songs, vocalizations, and “clicks” as it journeys through different worlds in search of meaningful connections.At the start and end of each video, sound and images link the series together, creating a continuous thread that underscores the theme of connection. This approach aims to connect the owners of these videos, if only for a brief moment, with others who experience the series.Created and edited by Floam World using Runway Gen-2, Runway Gen-3, Dalle3, Midjourney, magnific.ai, and 3D Software.Sound design by Floam World
