The essay discusses Israeli artist Ran Slavin's transmedia production, since the 1990s, as a key example of Israeli Futurism. The essay contextualizes Slavin's films, multimedia installations, photography, soundscapes, CGI imagery, and tech-based output as a way to process the conflictual dynamics at the basis of the foundation of Israel, the mythologies of Judaism and the ongoing metamorphosis of Jewish identity. The author of this essay, Francesco Spampinato, is also the editor of this major retrospective monograph on Slavin's work.
