ANY WAR ANY ENEMY VR, IMMERSIVE & AV
Any War Any Enemy (2022-2024) is an immersive work, released October 2024,
free on all platforms: Meta Oculus, Vimeo 360, Apple Vision Pro (pending)
Synopsis:
A way to end humanity many times over has been created and perfected. The world on the brink of omnicide has been industrialized, financialized and mythologized; and the logic of hatred underpins it all, making peace impossible and global war inevitable.
What will it be like? That end?
Any War Any Enemy is both a depiction of any war as well as the “last war.” The focus is on the human beings on the receiving end, which, in the next global war, will be all of us. Any War Any Enemy is an anti-war immersive poem—a preemptive requiem for the world lost to self-destruction. This last moment is “stretched” into a series of mise-en-scènes that build to a shocking finale.

"The first thing that must be understood about nuclear war is that it is not war."
John Somerville
Today, three nuclear superpowers are on the verge of a world war.
Nine countries in total possess nuclear weapons.
12,000 warheads are scattered across the globe.
2,000 are on high alert, ready to launch within seconds.
Once deployed, they cannot be recalled.
Total destruction will follow.
Those who benefit from a world on the brink of omnicide have prevailed.
They permeate government, business, media, and culture.
They have overtaken the way we think and dream.
As if self-hypnotized, they fall in sync.
They need a war —
ANY WAR ANY ENEMY
