If You Can’t Larp, You’ll Cry - is an experimental video performance work featuring Li Yi Fan, Harrison Hall and Mat Spisbah. The work scrutinizes the shift in digital media production brought about by the subscription economy and the implications of not owning but merely accessing software. It explores how these tools have changed the way we communicate, and created new desires for understanding and connection. Through the work, the group speculates that services and hacks to use video technology could construct a new politics of life by projecting a totality yet to come.

This film is a collaboration between musician and animator. The musician received a silent film and composed a score with no direction from the animator. In turn the animator created new visuals inspired by the music. Energy is built up and chaotically released but the leg eventually finds its footing.
