This double-screen experimental film connects crypto culture and cryogenics as speculative systems where the future becomes a resource. Gala Hernández López draws on YouTube, archival footage, and 3D animation to examine how digital capitalism shapes desire, identity and aspiration. The work critiques a generation raised on symbolic and material dispossession, asking how digital culture narrows the imagination of future possibilities. Her film explores mechanisms of recognition, fulfilment and class hierarchy under contemporary capitalism. Through one protagonist’s illusion, Hernández López reveals how computational systems create shared dreams and codified lives. The result is both critique and reflection on futures we’re allowed to imagine.
