An audio-visual postcard that director Viera Čákanyová sends to the future, based on her fictional conversation with her future virtual copy. She playfully and intimately explores the potential of blockchain technology and artificial intelligence in solving complex man-made global problems such as climate change or the crisis of parliamentary democracy. From a curious and critical perspective, she questions the ideal techno-optimistic model of the future and offers a window into an unspecified future where some technologies behave randomly or negatively. By combining super 8, 16mm footage on film stock, special lidar scan technology and point cloud methods, she highlights the tension between analogue and digital future of humanity.
这个被导演反复打磨的意象，像一枚尖锐的钢钉。当时在2018年的柏林电影节上，这头沉默的大象用四小时的影像悲鸣，导演用生命浇筑的绝望美学永远定格在电影史的天际线上。 这部浸透死亡意识的遗作，不仅仅是对加缪"真正严肃的哲学问题只有一个，自杀"的影像诠释，更是将中国县城青年的生存困境升华为存在主义困境的现代寓言。Copyright © 2020-2025 All Rights Reserved
