THE HEART OVER MIND VIDEO DEPICTS THE DARK REALITY OF THE NEW WORLD UNDER THE RULE OF THE RED NEXUS CORPORATION. IT IS A WORLD WHERE THE INDIVIDUAL IS SUBJUGATED TO THE SYSTEM, AND FREEDOM HAS BEEN REPLACED BY COMPLETE CONTROL AND SURVEILLANCE.

ARCHITECTURE OF THE CITY

THE CITY PRESENTS ITSELF AS A SPRAWLING METROPOLIS WITH MODERN AND BRUTALIST ARCHITECTURE. A DISTINCTIVE FEATURE OF THE LANDSCAPE IS THE HUGE CENTRAL BUILDING, PROBABLY THE RED NEXUS HEADQUARTERS, WHICH DOMINATES THE REST OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE. THIS BUILDING IS DECORATED WITH A HUGE RED TRIANGLE - THE CORPORATION'S LOGO - AND EXUDES RED LIGHT, SYMBOLIZING POWER AND CONTROL. NEAR IT IS THE GEISEL LIBRARY, A PLACE OF STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE TO THE CORPORATION.

A SYSTEM OF CONTROL

THE CITY HAS BEEN DESIGNED IN A WAY THAT ENSURES FULL CONTROL OVER THE LIVES OF ITS RESIDENTS. EACH RESIDENT HAS AN ASSIGNED QUARTERS, AND DAILY LIFE IS MONITORED BY RED NEXUS PERSONNEL AND RX-8 DRONES. THESE DRONES PATROL THE URBAN SPACE, ENSURING COMPLIANCE WITH THE RULES IMPOSED BY THE CORPORATION.

LIVING CONDITIONS

THE CITY'S RESIDENTS, IN ORDER TO SURVIVE, ARE FORCED TO WORK IN FACTORIES, PRODUCING MORE RX-8 DRONES. THIS WORK IS NOT ONLY GRUELING, BUT ALSO PERFORMED UNDER THE STRICT CONTROL OF SUPERVISORS. PEOPLE LIVE IN PERPETUAL FEAR OF REPRESSION, AND ANY SIGN OF REBELLION IS BRUTALLY SUPPRESSED.

SEPARATION FROM THE OUTSIDE WORLD

THE CITY IS SURROUNDED BY HIGH WALLS THAT SEPARATE IT FROM THE SLUMS AND POORER NEIGHBORHOODS. THIS WALL IS A CLEAR DIVISION BETWEEN THOSE WHO ARE SUBSERVIENT TO THE RED NEXUS AND THE REST OF THE WORLD. OUTSIDE THE WALLS LIE RUINED AREAS WHERE LIFE IS LIVED IN EVEN MORE EXTREME CONDITIONS.
