Pacific Vein takes us through a painterly panorama of the American West. Julian Assange stands between fake imperial Roman buildings as a soda maker and ponders the digitalization of our world. Around him, hippies, artists, and homeless people search for meaning while surveillance cameras capture their messages. Media and fictional scenes merge hypnotically with documentary footage. The empire is diligent (self-optimization) and nervous (military). The American Dream glitched into a ghostly autosuggestion. Where is the enemy and who has the image rights?
