Cola & the Chips
Silvia Amancei & Bogdan Armanu
16 October - December 20, 2025
“Cola & the Chips” is a collaborative project where Mumbai (India)based music producer and sound artists Sneha Khanwalkar will work together with artist duo based in Sandnes (Norway) Silvia Amancei & Bogdan Armanu and develop a music video for the single “Cola & The Chips” (2025).
The above mentioned song aims to highlight the accelerated and consumerist lifestyle specific to contemporary forms of production and consumption. Following the constant interest in sound, in its multiple forms, digitally mixing disparate noises, the sounds of local instruments and voices, to produce a melody or a sound field, Sneha aims through this song to capture the essence of the urban and the melodiousness of the crowding of lives and rhythms. Capturing sounds specific to life in contemporary urban contexts, the collision of destinies in constant motion, accelerated towards an uncertain destination, Khanwalkar wants to use this music of the cities, as a backdrop for the single “Cola & The Chips”.
The videoclip will look to expand the anthropological aspect to the visual aspect, seeking to add new filters of understanding through in an attempt to illustrate the complexity of the interweaving of contemporary life. Using as main characters food-delivery-couriers from different contexts and cities (real or imaginary), “Cola & The Chips” will try and grasp the complexity of contemporary system of production and the accelerated lives surrounding it, where every second becomes quantifiable and every activity is interrogated from the perspective of time and capital efficiency.
Thus, in the landscape of contemporary urban capitalism, this type of work perfectly mirrors the ideological framework of the hope of affirmation through work, acceleration and speculation, while accepting a precarious existence, in constant fear of failure, being aware that there is no social safety net in case you are no longer able to perform your activity/work.
