One Tablet Daily

Jennifer Van Wie


One Tablet Daily is an animation created by Jennifer Van Wie that reflects on the significance of a working mind and body. The body in this piece lives in a world where one pill every day ensures life from the moment of birth. When the mind is tired of the repetitive and demanding pill, it hits a moment of rebellion. This immediate reaction of wanting to retaliate is a momentary feeling that has permanent consequences.

Revolution is not a new concept and does not always come in the form of war. The human body is communicated as a military where the immune system is its defensive line and it is constantly at risk for invasions of sickness. In One Tablet Daily, the mind retaliates by leaving its body defenseless. Many times after revolution, there is something there to reform and start new. That is not the case here as it is no longer a revolution, but an extermination.
