to be content is an exploration of the vibespace between authenticity and æsthetics, delving into how art frizzles out and content emerges.

Animations, video essays, satisfying routines, generative, derivative, addictive, all blur into an endless sludge, where reality dissolves and meaning becomes obsolete, emotional depth a commodity, profoundness a meme and merch a necessity. Overcoming the need for facts and finding solace in vibes is the only way to be content.

„I like making things that look nice, it’s really not that deep.“

– Christian Ludwig Ottakring, media artist and content creator
