Optic nerves and their time
Geocinema (Solveig Qu Suess, Asia Bazdyrieva) (INT)
The work will focus on the key questions which sit at the core of Geocinema – both as a documentary-led research project and a collaborative practice. We will depart from the unobvious images of the Earth (such as calibration images, mathematical modeling of climates, satellite footage, etc.) to speak of the distributed and decentralized processes of sensing and imaging.
Digital Aesthetics

The Digital Aesthetics Garden will be at the National Museum of Science and Technology Leonardo da Vinci, with a specific program for the days of the festival.
