Programm

GENDER

This program portrays fairly diverse gender positions: A man and a woman meet each other – an unpleasant yet at the same time provocative situation between attraction and rejection. An experimental animation about gender and sexuality with vagina and penis as its main elements. An analysis of anorexia and a black comedy about a couple with differing attitudes towards gender norms.

Dialogue IV: AI and Music Research

SAT 7.9. | 16:30 – 17:00

Lichtzeichen

Lars Schrodberger (DE)

Language is the key to human communication. Ever since the invention of letterpress and book printing, humans have been fascinated by type and language. However, the written language has lost its magic over the years. That’s why I want to bring back life to the magic and mysticism of type and language. In order to achieve this, I created a machine for translating and interpreting written words, texts or single letters into emotional and abstract light signals.

Dialogue III: Anatomies of AI

Vuk Ćosić (SI) & Vladan Joler (RS)

SAT 7.9. | 16:00 – 16:30

WORLD MACHINES

Urbanization and globalization in the digital age is one example. Another one is a movie portraying various traditional patterns of the Ainu people, the native inhabitants of Northern Japan. Seoul City Machine is a city symphony of an urban space of tomorrow, written and narrated by an AI chatbot. Or maybe a city portrait of young people and their personal data.

Dialogue II: AI & Bio Art

SAT 7.9. | 15:30 – 16:00

Dialogue I: Komposition, Interpretation, Reproduction - 3 shades of creativity

Markus Poschner (DE) & Ali Nikrang (AT)

SAT 7.9. | 15:00 – 15:30

STATEMENT

A group of soldiers set off on a peaceful exploration of the city through a war zone in the middle of Manhattan, a game of pretended emergencies, a society that buries its head in the sand. Filmmakers take a stand on various political issues such as censorship in Saudi Arabia or ask questions about staged images in the refugee crisis.

Lucifer

Kari Massey (DE)

Lucifer is a small robot, which reacts to light and gives light. If Light were a living thing, how would we encounter it? How would we communicate with each other? With 3 joints, 3 degrees of freedom, Lucifer is able to react with a wide range of motion. He addresses us with his movements. How do we react to this feedback? He brings light and he seeks light. Do we accept his offer? Or will we try to take away the light he seeks? An experimental reflection on human behavior.
