Los Angeles, 2006. Life is Easy 2.0 for James Pongo. He has a cushy job, a busy social life and an alluring love interest all through the click of a mouse. But when he wakes up after a night of reckless partying to discover that his computer is missing, James' hyper-connected reality takes a nosedive. Told entirely through the websites, programs, games and social networks, 0s & 1s uses James Pongo's nihilistic adventure to question our growing dependency on these alternate digital realities.

Kotlyarenko’s command over maximalist computer visuals is so awe inspiring and envy inducing. Amazing to see when a director has been so committed to a style for their entire career. I think the code is where he shines the brightest, but this is a stellar debut!

Such a Perfect Movie to include an audio commentary. The charisma between everyone that went into making this and the chaos behind getting it done is amazing. Hand made digital visualization creates a personalized technological world. Applications and programs flooding your brain with so much information you don’t know what to do with. Sometimes you just need to slow down.The concept of an operating system being the visual language has become a signature style in Eugene Kotlyarenko’s films. It is prominately brought back later in the movie “Spree (2020)” and again in “The Code (2024)” Showcasing the obsession of a generational culture with a personal approach.

I loved this so much. It still feels so ahead of its time and I can’t get over how creative you have to be to make something like this. I also had a fun time visiting the website for the movie, so cool.

A Time Capsule of the early Y2K World Wide Web. Obsessively online. Friend requests, social status', and cats.
