Network Topology (2024)
Single-channel digital video protection, colour, silent. 9m 58s.
'Network Topology,’ a means of mapping the structure of computer networks, is transposed into a film grammar through the appropriation, digitisation, and recombination of montage techniques drawn from early cinema, structuralist film, and analogue video art. The film is a superimposition of superimpositions (just as the internet is a network of networks), and a story of two transgender women attempting to find connection.

Margot McEwen likes going on the computer. She is attempting to synthesise a new film grammar that reflects the underlying structures of the internet – a language for the ways in which the internet moves.
