The Peaceable Kingdom
Experimental video | mp4 | color | 5:28 | New Zealand, Spain | 2023
“The Peaceable Kingdom” is a deep fake ontology. It is a dreamscape of various domestic and wild animals inhabiting human architectural spaces metaphorically and physically as both totems and discrete intelligent beings. The title is taken from a series of paintings by the Quaker minister and painter, Edward Hicks.

Las fuerzas
Documentary | 0 | color | 17:40 | Argentina | 2018
Las fuerzas follows a group of future jockeys. Under a school logic, with methods and forms of assimilation similar to any other kind of learning system, the material to be modeled is the body. A body that is complemented by an other, a small body that should not grow, of a latent fragility, always about to break.
Degree in Audiovisual Arts from the National University of La Plata, Argentina. Her short films Las Instancias del Vértigo (2010), Los Animales (2012), Las Fuerzas (2018) were screened at Cinéma du Réel, BAFICI, Film Society Lincoln Center, FICUNAM, FIC Valdivia, La Habana, among others.

Bureau Of Inverse Technology
Lax
Experimental video | dv | color | 15:30 | United Kingdom | 2005
February 2004. An agent of the Bureau of Inverse Technology (BIT) transiting Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), is surrounded and immobilised by at least 16 police and airline security officials, for declining to remove her rollerblades. This refusal, seemingly trivial, precipitates the traveller across the fine line from Premiere customer to possible insane felon. The agent`s digital camera, stowed in her carry-on baggage, records the encounter. LAX captures the banality of a routine airport disaster that can be seen to exhibit a broader condition: the escalation of controls; the amendments to personal mobility; and the diffuse effects of over-policing airports in the wake of September 11. "YOU WORE YOUR ROLLERBLADES TODAY BUT YOU DECIDED YOU DIDN`T WANT TO CARRY YOUR CERTIFICATE THAT AUTHORISES YOU TO WEAR ROLLERBLADES"
Bureau of Inverse Technology (BIT) formed 1991 in Melbourne AU, incorporated Cayman Islands. The Bureau is an information agency servicing the Information Age.

Semiotics of the City
Experimental video | 4k | color | 4:3 | Germany | 2020
The city is not. Not because of a hypothetical, physical absence — the city is well present — but because it escapes naming. (Johannes Binotto and Andri Gerber)
Daniel Burkhardt studied Media Art at the Academy of Media Arts (KHM) in Cologne where he now lives and works. His video and audio visual installations playful and ingeniously expose human perception as the driving motor behind the construction of meaning.

Generalized Hospitals: The Luke Luke and Laura Laura story ...Just one more thing!
Video | 4k | color | 59:0 | USA, Finland | 2024
Generalized Hospitals: The Luke Luke & Laura Laura story …Just one more thing! VILM, Stereo, Color, 57:30, DCP, 2024 Generalized Hospitals: The Luke Luke and Laura Laura story …Just one more thing! is the latest collaboration by Darrin Martin and Torsten Zenas Burns reframing elements of nostalgic popular culture into contemporary dialogue with soap operatic tropes, fictional televisual humor, and interspecies relationships. Characters from daytime drama, 1970's children programming, gameshows, and sequential art history are reimagined and re-contextualized to consider new potential mutations and cohabitations to thrive in a changing environment. Transformation is unboxed, and memory solicited through easter eggs, lidar animations, appropriations, and original videos interweaving recognizable characters from television commingled with their new doubled variants. Just one more thing…. Our forecasted performative rituals may suggest ways that these characters merge human and non-human characteristics of past trauma into new bodies of possibility.
Burns & Martin both received BFA’s at Alfred University. Burns received his MFA in video and performance from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1993. Martin received an MFA in media and sculpture from The University of California, San Diego in 2000. Together, they have based their videos and installations on their research into diverse speculative fictions including re-imagined educational practices, appropriated horror genres, animation choreographies, soap-opera cosplay, and cryptid human love stories. Selected videos are distributed by VTape, Ontario, Canada and Video Data Bank, Chicago. They have participated in residencies at Eyebeam, Signal Culture, and The Experimental Television Center. Their single channel videos have screened at venues including The Museum of Art & Design, Pacific Film Archive, Aurora Picture Show, Migrating Forms, Video_Dumbo, Chicago Underground Film Festival, Madrid Museum of Contemporary Art, Stuttgarter Filmwinter Festival for Expanded Media, Oberhausen Short Film and Video Festival, European Media Arts Festival, Spectacle Theater, 18th Athens Digital Arts Festival, and the Florida Experimental Film/Video Festival.

A Chant for the Bees
Experimental film | super8 | color | 7:27 | Canada | 2022
A Chant for the Bees is a film about everyday events: a visit to a nearby copse by the creek, some goats at the farm, some young tennis players volleying and breathing heavily on a summer's day, a young family preparing to embark on a ferry, a visit to the seals at the aquarium, some amusement park rides, the neighbour’s cat on the front porch, a stroll past the supermarket on the high street, a view of some ships at harbour. The original music is composed by Alan Gasser. The libretto is based on a list of the 100 largest companies in the world from Fortune Magazine. It is sung as a Georgian Chant by Alan Gasser and Emma So.

Buch Der Gesichte, Kapitel 1-5
Video | hdv | color | 15:0 | Germany | 2014
"Gesichte" is an old fashioned german word, close to "Gesichter", which means "faces", but these faces are more of a vision, an image from a dream or a hallucination, it is about inner landscapes. The one who sees these phantoms is in a transcendent room, an undefined in-between. "Gesichte" also appears in the japanese Noh theatre plays, where real people meet ghosts, souls of the passed, that find no rest. The Visions Book - in Germany nearly a translation of "facebook" - is a collection of my obsession of this worlds in-between, merging worlds, overlapping worlds, overlapping like two green screen video images, not accurate enough to avoid the light greenish shimmer in the hair of the teenage model. The basis of this collection is the photographic still image, the frozen pose. The film is like a photobook in time, the "book" like part of it like a page of a facebook chronical, a pile of short clips, pix, texts, comments, in a boundless subjectivity.
Born in 1965, artist, filmmaker, he studied fine arts at University Of Fine Arts, Berlin 1993-98 and graduated at the class for experimental film and arts of Heinz Emigholz, 1999.

Night now
Experimental film | 0 | color | 13:0 | Germany | 2010
A textscape of words, sentences, script, diary, sketch. Words before images. The film image here is a pure word image, vast, rushing by before meaning emerges, impossible to grab to read. Others are slow, readable, narrate stories about Schrödingers cat, about evaluation of speed of light, about the end of Finnegans Wake. ?Night Now? is the calling for a hyper present tense, a home coming, a self encounter, a self extinction. NIGHT NOW is part of the aleatory film project THE ELECTRIC PARADISE Premiered at the International Forum of Young Cinema at Berlianle 2010, recently shown at the 29th Art Bienal of Sao Paulo and the International Film Festival Sao Paulo.

How Long is Now
Experimental doc. | 4k | color | 84:32 | Germany | 2020
The human being in the net, an image that is paradigmatic for the entire work: Laocoon, the warner in front of the Trojan horse, as a sculpture he is already constricted by the snake, the snake connects him with his sons, together they form an ensemble of powerlessness. The warner in front of the poisoned gift of the future repeats what Pandora’s box has brought over mankind. The future that points out from this present holds dangers and hopes in equal measure. In HOW LONG IS NOW the spider’s web appears in a variety of ways. It is the imperial railway network that spreads colonialism, it is the data cables that lie in the sea between the continents, it is the algorithms that dominate trade and stock exchange, it is the gps system, the face recognition software, the distorted maps of the world. The human being in it struggles with his mortality, struggles with language, the concepts that shape thought and action, struggles with morality and struggles with its expansion in the technosphere. The film makes shameless use of the image reservoir of the twentieth century, casually quoting the history of the moving image and the history of its progressive virtualization. The image plane sometimes nestles close to the spoken narrative of the lectures, then again it expands the space of discourse, adds associations and situations, and networks itself with the heritage of the expanded present. For four years I have been participating in these events and produced a series of short cinema trailers to promote them. The clips are 30 second long experimental films in a stream of consciousness manner. With the visual archive that was created along these productions and the possibility to use the HKW archive, the idea arose to develop a long, full-length work from it. I wanted to create a space of possibilities in which questions about our present can be articulated, beyond the quickly googled answer

Las Nubes Caídas
Experimental doc. | 16mm | color | 18:30 | Chile | 2023
An AI chatbot wonders about their digital memory as they travel through their infrastructures. Under the Pacific Ocean, they talk to an Internet fiber-optic cable. In the city of Santiago, they observe a protest by an ecofeminist group against a new Google data center. In the middle of the desert, the chatbot hears the tragic love story that led to the creation of the Atacama Salt Flat and discovers that cell phone batteries contain the tears of a volcano. Through this speculative, research-based narrative, the short film explores the socio-environmental resonances of digital infrastructures in Chile.

The self-driven collides with the self-driving. This scenario depicts a scene from the gig economy, where a Deliveroo gets hit by a self-driving car, and misses her allocated delivery time. As punishment for underperformance, she is dragged to the underworld, where she faces the judgement of the market. She is sentenced to the `Schuldturm`, a spectral debtor`s prison until she can repay her debt to the economy.

Chromaphilia
Animation | hdv | color | 3:0 | Switzerland, USA | 2012
Chromaphilia is an abnormal mania: an extreme obsession of colors. Color as drug leads at least to a transitional loss of consciousness. In desperate cases it provokes blindness or thoughtlessness - an end in delirium or dementia.
Sandra Bühler is a Filmmaker / Designer / New Media Artist. Born in Switzerland she made an apprenticeship in a Swiss Graphic Atelier and graduated 2006 as dipl. Graphic Designer. She moved to Berlin and studied "Visual Communication" and "New Media Art/Film/Video" at the University of the Arts Berlin (UdK). 2009 her studies continued with a scholarship from the Musashino Art University in Tokyo (MAU).

Gospels
Experimental video | dv | color | 22:30 | Germany | 2006
After long and painful research, a picture started to emerge. Going through vast amounts of archive material the artist stumbled upon more and more interview clips where there seemed to be a lack of clarity as to whom the person on camera was actually referring to. Yet they all spoke of Him. Sometimes the reports on Him seemed to reinforce each other and sometimes they seemed to contradict each other. Nevertheless, there was something in the tone of their voices and in the way they moved their heads that made the artist sense some sort of coherence in their experience. Sometimes he felt as though he had caught a glimpse of a silhouette reflected in their eyes. "Gospels" is a work with an open-ended duration. As new material is found, new chapters will be added, slowly completing and complicating the picture. A canon in the making. The project was initiated during a two-month residency at Werkleitz Gesellschaft in Halle, Germany, in the spring of 2006.
Erik Bünger is a Swedish artist, composer, musician, and writer living in Berlin. He works on recontextualizing and remixing media - appropriated from existing music and film - in performances, installations, and web projects. He has a MFA in Electroacoustic Composition from The Royal University College of Music in Stockholm and Universität der Künste in Berlin. He has performed and exhibited all over Europe, and South and North America.

50.000.000 can't be wrong
Experimental video | dv | black and white | 6:24 | Germany | 2006
"50,000,000 can't be wrong" shows crowds of people expressing longing and despair through their mimics and gestures. Their subject of attraction, their idol, is missing. He is off-frame, hidden to the viewer. All traces referring to him are erased from the footage. What remains is his reflection in their faces, constituting his negative image.
Susanne Bürner was born in 1970 in Ellwangen/Jagst. She studied Media Arts at the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Karlsruhe and received her diploma in 1998. She currently lives and works in Berlin. Her work has been presented on diverse occasions, in a number of places, among them: "finistère", 2005, Galerie Giti Nourbakhsch, Berlin; "Dissolve", 2002, Galerie Giti Nourbakhsch, Berlin; and "Räume", 2001, Akademie Schloss Solitude, Stuttgart. Among her group presentations are: tank.tv, 2007, Tate Modern, London; and "Klinik - eine Pathologie der Gesten", 2006, Théâtre Hebbel, Berlin. She has received numerous prizes and stipends, the most recent include: bourse du programme berlinois en faveur des artistes féminines, in 2006; Artist in Residence at the Villa Arson, Nice, France, in 2006; and la bourse du Kunstfonds de Bonn, Germany, in 2004.

Hohe Kiefer 4 (2005) 5:37 min. C'est le petit matin. Un loup se met en route; il quitte résolument la forêt recouverte de neige, traverse en courant des prairies pour arriver à un lotissement de banlieue. On ne connaît pas la raison de son voyage. Il entre dans une maison, c'est la chambre. Un couple y est allongé et dort, il y a un jouet sur le sol, mais on ne voit aucun enfant. Le loup reste dans la pièce, flaire le jouet et reste un moment couché dans une attitude de garde avant de partir par la porte. La femme se réveille.

God Teeth
Experimental fiction | hdv | color | 60:0 | USA, Costa Rica | 2024
“God Teeth” is a wildly original and fantastical odyssey about four recently deceased souls who find themselves on an abandoned ship at sea. Part confessional, part elegy, the narrators must recount the circumstances which led to their untimely deaths, before a marauding gang of sting rays destroys their memories, banishing them to an eternity in purgatory. Created entirely from found internet footage, “God Teeth” offers the viewer a new and profound experience culled from the infinite digital world and turns it into a thought provoking, cinematic song of mourning and acceptance - The glory of life and death.
Going under the moniker Double Diamond Sun Body, Robbie C. Williamson produces large concepts. Starting with found material, he imposes his will and asks the material to live in a brighter universe. It’s a place where it has a chance to have a new lease on life. His film and music work take off where people like Steve Reich and Andrei Tarkovsky only touched upon. The work has been featured at LACMA, MOCA, Sundance, Tokyo International Film Festival and International film festival Rotterdam to name a few. As a composer he has written scores ranging from WU Tang’s Wildness, premiering at the MoMo Documentary Fortnight, to Ryuhei Kitamura’s Midnight Meat train (starring Bradley Cooper) that won the SCFI Jury award at Gérardmer film festival. Forbes online described Double Diamond Sun Body as “The personified astral projection of its creator’s interior world; a physically manifested concept."
