Jobbuffet - about working and providing work

Buffer Overflow the Mindframes!

Bauhaus-University Weimar (DE)

The students present a live improvised audiovisual concert where the sound component is on an equal footing with the video. The dramaturgy follows a clear line and combines numerous abstract forms of visualization and programming. Buffer Overflow the Mindframes! refers to the rise of pop-cultural references in digital media in the early 2000s, but instead of the tedious processes of that time, improvisation and recombination are part of the artistic expression.

Expanded Animation: Keynote Rashaad Newsome

Rashaad Newsome (US)

Being (2022) is a nonbinary, non-race AI created by combining animation game engines, scripted responses, generative grammars and unique machine-learning models. It plays multiple roles, leading participatory workshops that teach decolonization, and in the evenings, it explores the evolution of vogue drawing parallels between dance and Black American Queer experience.

This year’s theme, Gestures of Resistance, addresses the sensory experiences of touch, gesture and physical movement and their role in social, cultural and political resistance. Human bodies collide with one another in a variety of contexts, and they have the power to affect others or to be affected themselves. Our bodies are deeply structured by culture, but they can also resist; motion and sensation that are felt in the body can become catalysts of change.
