Preview file of NGMI.
NGMI stands for ’not gonna make it’. The abbreviation is often used for bad investments in crypto space, but in the case of this digital video work, it describes a post-pandemic sentiment towards our collective behaviour in the light of the climatological and ecological system crisis.
NGMI is more a collection of musings on the status quo than a coherent narrative. The film incorporates clues towards other projects in my body of work.

All animation and audio is done by me. Exceptions: the Google flight in the 'telephone' chapter was recorded in Google Earth studio, the bird alarm calls (downloaded at vogelgeluiden.nl, mixed by me), the video of the 'metaverse' chapter, was recorded in a 3D social media app (IMVU), and at the end a NASA image is used.
