In a humorous, playful, experimental, surprising and provocative way, the short films collected here question the use of and our dealings with various forms of technology as well as the effects of deep socio-political structures on algorithms. They provide insights into the machines and present utopian-dystopian views of posthumanist futures.

Brenda Lien’s Call of Comfort (DE 2018, 9 min.) deals with our online privacy, which falls victim to our demand for comfort as well as the promise of an optimized life. AIVA (DE 2020, 13 min.) by Veneta Androva humorously analyzes how “neutral” artificial intelligence can be, deconstructing the myth of the male genius. The experimental science fiction short film by video artist Björn Melhus, SUGAR (DE 2019, 20 min), confronts us with a post-humanist and post-capitalist future in which robots seek a way out of the echo chambers of meaningless selfie monologues left behind by humans. Halina Kliem’s speculative fiction The AIs (DE/USA 2021, 7 min.) is an experimental fiction on learning and unlearning, mind and labor, dynamics of bias, as well as change, and a dialogue between human and non-human entities. The film explores beliefs humans have about themselves, using feedback loops, chaotic systems, and historical-pattern-replicating machines. Meta_Face (USA 2017, 2 min.) by Jürgen Trautwein and Silvia Nonnenmacher reflects on how the major social networks we feed daily with our search queries, status updates, and location services know more about our obsessions and addictions than we do. Vera Seberts and Harun Farocki direct our gaze into the machines: What happens when visual language elements and metatexts are stripped of their context? Liquid Traits of an Image Apparatus (DE/AT, 2019, 7 min.) presents a poetic-experimental choreography of codes and symbols. In numerous juxtapositions, Eye/Machine III (DE, 2003, 25 min.) examines “intelligent” image processing techniques and “operative seeing” as well as the relationship between man, machine and modern warfare: What are the socio-political, but also humanistic consequences when (war) machines block out “surplus” information?   

Some of these films contain graphic scenes of nudity.

TTASEIN - an exercising being animation project - a year in review

 

TTASEIN in a Topsy_Turvy world 

TTASEIN is a collaborative net-based project by Jurgen Trautwein and Silvia Nonnenmacher. On the creative methodology, the work employs a low-end approach by using social commentary drawings on letter-size paper with pen and ink before converted into .gifs. - A year in review - TTASEIN is Dasein in serious times under serious measures, a constant balancing act between hope and despair, using Art as the raft onto which to climb to save our sanity.

One-Off Moving Image Festival 2020

We're excited to invite you to the third edition of One-Off Moving Image Festival!
This year we have two programs. In addition to showing one second movies together with 60sec movies, we're also showing long single take movies. The theme is "Browsing right and wrong".
All movies are screened during the festival February 10 - 16, 2020 in Valencia (ES) and Gol (NO) in addition to the net. We use routers and QR-codes to screen the movies on smartphones in public spaces. Since the long single take movies are considered performative and site-specific the One-Off festival takes place at the location of the movies and becomes a distributed event. In this manner we've been able to screen the year 2020 in year 2017 - and even as far back as 2011 - in an anticipatory participation or plagiarism! One-Off 2020 also offers an experimental peer screening, where the shooting site of a movie contains reference to a peer movie (a printed QR-code placed at the location) perhaps in an attempt to displace its own (psychogeographical) mapping.
We're collaborating with 60Seconds Festival in Copenhagen (DK) taking place in parallel, to physically screen a selection of the one second movies mixed with 60 seconds movies in public spaces in Copenhagen, Frederiksberg, Køge and Helsingør during the festival week.
In addition, all one second movies will be included in the next Leap Second Festival, an irregular x-ennale lasting one second.

Meta_Face - exploitable for digital harvest

Meta_Face observes our obsessions and addictions in a digitalized world. Through our devices and social media we are being deep-faced, spied-on, infiltrated and manipulated to become vulnerable addicts, exploitable for perpetual digital harvest.
