This video by the artist collective eeefff explores how war, ecological collapse, and colonial infrastructures infiltrate daily life through invisibilized systems. Cyberwarfare, digital mapping, algorithmic assistants, and coded instructions quietly reshape reality, embedding militarization into homes, bodies, and imaginations. Extractivist fairytales, productivity regimes, and even hidden comments in code reveal how organized violence becomes normalized and stabilized at the infrastructural level. Moving images based on recently leaked Yandex code – a window into the extractivist machinery of geographies and intimacies – trace how Russia’s imperialism is extending through algorithmic systems and technological platforms. Sound, projection, and embodied action reveal how digital architectures reproduce the logic of control, territorial domination, and resource extraction, creating digital fascism, which fuses imperial violence with technological standardization.

The video is an excerpt of a multimedia intervention that was first staged as part of the “Pluriverse of Peace” conference on Friday, October 17 at the ZK/U in Berlin.
