The series focuses on the construction, visual landscape and inherent rules of computer-animated worlds. Computer animations are currently becoming a general model, surpassing film. In films, there is the wind that blows and the wind that is produced by a wind machine. Computer images do not have two kinds of wind. —Harun Farocki Parallel IV explores the actions of the heroes and protagonists of the video game world. These heroes have no parents or teachers; they must test their relationships with others and determine of their, own accord, the rules to follow. Farocki notes these characters are homunculi, anthropomorphist beings, created by humans. Whoever plays with them has a share in the creator s pride.
