A closer look
Most documentaries want you to passively absorb nature, but Bear 71 wants you to feel terribly guilty about it. This groundbreaking interactive experience places the audience inside a simulated trail-camera network in Banff National Park. By giving you the power to toggle between surveillance feeds of a collared grizzly bear while narrated from the animal's cynical perspective, it brutally strips away the romanticism of the wild. You aren't watching nature; you are actively participating in its datafication, turning a living creature into an interactive point on a digital map for your own cheap entertainment.
