«Das Unaussprechliche»
Performance | mp4 | couleur | 47:31 | Russie | 2024
«Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent» Ludwig Wittgenstein, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus Nowadays we are witnesses to the world in the state of unceasing and disgusting war. As Russian citizens, we empathize with everybody who has suffered or whose family has suffered from this conflict. In our country, we can’t speak about that openly. We have to stop any attempts to talk about it. And every day we see the consolidation of political power, the tightening of laws and measures in relation to people who are against the war. When facts of the world become unspeakable, language loses its logical completeness and perfection, which are brought forth by Ludwig Wittgenstein in the «Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus». We're only left with the things outside of language - the unspeakable, the senseless. Things you can only show, not tell. From this point of view, «Das Unaussprechliche» is a reflection of the world, rather than broken up language. At the start, we're still bound by systems of symbols. Over the course of the performance we get to observe the participants gain new ways of communication, while the experience is recorded using photographs and graphs.
«Not quite open meetings» is an art collective, created by 2024` alumni of Institute of Contemporary Art Moscow. It emerged early in 2024 due to our reading-group where we can meet regularly and discuss philosophy and art. While all members of «Not quite open meetings» are also individual artists, we’re united by our shared object of interest and exploration - the Unspeakable. The term was coiled by Ludwig Wittgenstein and in our performance «Das Unaussprechliche» we gave it a somewhat unexpected spin. The problems that we address in our art and discussions are speechlessness, community, pressure, body. As a collective we hope to share our emotional experience, that is nowadays probably familiar to many, and weave our low-voice narrative together with you.

the Fold
VR expérimental | mp4 | couleur | 0:0 | USA | 2019
"The Fold" is a non-linear film and virtual reality-based art game involving rooms with doors containing a concept folding into other rooms with doors. Inspired by Jorge Luis Borges' short story The Garden of Forking Paths, each room consists of an idea inspired by structuralist & surrealist literature, mathematics, the readymade virtual object, and more. This project is a virtual 'escape the room' concept where some rooms are puzzle experiences and others are more experiential. All rooms follow a similar visual monochromatic motif. To date, the project involves five rooms: the Doors, the Fold, the Grid, the Meridies, and the Cave. Subsequent rooms will be released as this project is a long-term episodic series. Chapter one is debuted at Berlin Recontres International.
Alex M. Lee is an artist who utilizes 3D animation, video game engines, virtual/augmented/immersive reality platforms, and the potential of simulation technologies in order to visualize and complicate our perception of time, space, image and light - culling from concepts within science, science fiction, physics, philosophy, and modernity. He received his BFA (2005) and MFA (2009) from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Born in Seoul, South Korea, Lee was raised in the USA and is associate professor in the Digital Arts & Sciences Program at Clarkson University located in Potsdam, NY - a private science and engineering university located north of the Adirondack Mountains where he divides his time between Potsdam and New York City. Lee has exhibited internationally in North America and Asia. Selected exhibitions include: Mio Photo, Osaka, Japan; Daegu Art Factory, Daegu, Korea; The Gene Siskel Film Center, Chicago, Illinois; Eyebeam: Center for Art & Technology, New York, NY; Gallery DOS, Seoul, Korea; Museum of Contemporary Art, Montreal, QC. His work has been published in articles covering art, science, and culture including: Metaverse Creativity, Canadian Art, and Routledge Press.

What the Robot Saw
Installation multimédia | 0 | couleur | 0:0 | USA | 2020
An invisible audience of software robots continually analyze content on the Internet. Political trolls and YouTube celebrities gain visibility because social media ranking algorithms promote addictive videos to the top of search and recommendation rankings. What the Robot Saw is a continuously-generated livestream film that uses contrarian algorithms to constantly curate some of the least attention-grabbing videos recently uploaded to YouTube. These videos, and their creators, are rendered largely invisible by social media algorithms. Their primary audience may be the robots that rank them. What the Robot Saw uses computer vision algorithms to curate videos and study their subjects. It focuses on first-person, camera facing narrators. The robot continually assembles its film and labels its “talking head” performers in a robo-fantastical cinematic style. The Robot titles its human subjects according to the demographically-focused feature set of Amazon Rekognition, a popular facial analysis system. In a robot-centric world, attributes like presumed age, gender, and emotion might better identify us than our names. The title is a reference to early 1900s What the Butler Saw “peep show” films. Both the butlers and the Robot got a superficial glimpse of a seductive “show;” they could not really understand the objects of their obsession.
Amy Alexander is a professor and hackernaut who has been making computationally-based art projects since the 1990s. Amy is a Professor of Computing in the Arts in the Visual Arts Department at UC San Diego. She is an algorithmic filmmaker and performer who has focused throughout her career on the fuzzy borders between media and the world. Amy’s work has frequently addressed algorithmic subjectivity in digital culture by creating transparently biased, sometimes funny alternatives. Her latest project returns to this theme — this time taking on the attention economy and social influence of algorithms used for social media rankings and facial classification. Using computer vision and machine learning-based methods of curation and production, What the Robot Saw, is a perpetual live stream that depicts the cinematic fantasy of the surveillant AI robots who “see” the social media content few humans get to experience. Amy’s art practice has spanned net art, software art, computationally-based installation, audiovisual performance, and film. Her research and practice over the years has focused on how contemporary media – from performative cinema to social media – changes along with cultural and technological shifts. Amy’s projects have been presented on the Internet, in clubs and on the street as well as in festivals and museums. She has written and lectured on software art, software as culture, and historical and contemporary audiovisual performance. She has served as a reviewer for festivals and commissions for new media art and computer music.Her recent lectures span topics including algorithmic bias and subjectivity, cultural anthropologies of gender roles in 20th and 21st century computing, and systems and disruption in 20th and 21st century media.

Deep World
Installation multimédia | 0 | couleur | 0:0 | USA, 0 | 2025
Deep World is a performance and installation project examining the evolving relationship between humans and chatbots — from their early role as informal therapists to their current position as omnipresent advisers in unsettled times. At Deep World’s center is a chatbot intentionally re-authored with ideas drawn from writers and theorists who confronted difficult eras, combined with contemporary material reflecting concerns of today. Visitors bring real worries and complicated questions; the chatbot’s output veers between philosophical and poetic, revealing both insight and self-doubt. The gap between what people need and what the machine can offer becomes part of the work’s texture — by turns earnest, wry, and unsettling. Performance version: Performed by VJ Übergeek (Amy Alexander), the piece blends live text improvisation, VJ practice, and game-controller interaction. The dialogue becomes a semi-theatrical search for clarity, humor, and company in difficult times. Installation version: The current installation iteration focuses on borders — political and social, physical and metaphorical — as a lens for contemplating contemporary dilemmas. The installation invites visitors to speak directly with Deep World, generating evolving text and psychedelic visuals in a secular-sanctuary setting. Additional installation iterations are under development.
Amy Alexander is an artist and professor whose work spans computational installation, performance, net art, and film. She has been making software-based art since the 1990s and writing about the cultural roles of algorithms since the early 2000s. With a background in film, music, programming, and IT, she focuses on the porous borders between media and the world, and on how technologies shape – and are shaped by – cultural conditions. Much of her work examines algorithmic subjectivity in digital culture. Recent projects extend this focus to AI and machine learning systems, including custom large language models used as collaborators in live performance and as tools for examining generative AI–based cinema. Her projects have explored themes ranging from surveillance and social media to public-space performance and the mechanics of computational authorship. Alexander’s work has been exhibited or performed at venues including the Whitney Museum, Prix Ars Electronica, Transmediale, SIGGRAPH, NIME, the New Museum, CURRENTS, and ICLC, as well as clubs such as Sonar and First Avenue, and in street performances in Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, Zürich, and Aberdeen. She has also written and lectured widely on software art, audiovisual performance, and media preservation. Alexander is a Professor of Computing in the Arts at UC San Diego.

THE PASSENGERS
Vidéo | hdv | couleur | 14:50 | Italie | 2023
Avec les détenus de la prison de Brindisi comme protagonistes, THE PASSENGERS parle de l'attente, ce moment où tout s'arrête, où l'on a le temps de réfléchir et de repartir en pleine conscience. Les passagers accueillent tout le monde dans leur wagon, l'important étant de se laisser porter par la puissance évocatrice de leurs récits. Ils racontent leur attente, leur rapport au temps, ils manifestent leur fragilité et en dansant ils s'amusent, ils jouent avec eux-mêmes. Entre lectures de passages écrits dans la cellule, musique entraînante et chorégraphie de groupe, les protagonistes libèrent tout le monde : parce que tout le monde est prisonnier de quelque chose qu'il porte en lui. Et le partage est l'outil qui permet de s'en libérer. La mise en scène est signée Vito Alfarano, tandis que la chorégraphie est un travail à quatre mains entre Alfarano lui-même et Francesco Biasi, le jeune chorégraphe de la compagnie. Les textes sont de Michele Caiulo, qui a écrit ses pensées et ses réflexions dans son journal pendant sa détention. Choisis par Vito Alfarano et réadaptés par Marcello Biscosi, ils sont devenus le guide du spectacle. Le projet bénéficie du soutien de la Garant des personnes soumises à des mesures de restriction de la liberté personnelle du Conseil régional de la Région des Pouilles et est réalisé en coopération avec la Direction de la Prison de Brindisi, Ministère de la Justice.
VITO ALFARANO _ Directeur artistique et chorégraphe Il a commencé sa carrière comme danseur indépendant en travaillant avec différents chorégraphes. Avec ses chorégraphies et ses scénographies, il a remporté les premiers prix lors de concours internationaux et de festivals de scénographie. Il est le directeur artistique d'AlphaZTL Company of Dynamic Art basée à Brindisi (Italie), qui s'occupe d'ART & SOCIAL avec de la danse contemporaine et de la screendance, et de BRINDISI PERFORMING ARTS, un festival d'inclusion sociale par le biais des arts du spectacle. ____________________________ FRANCESCO BIASI _ Vidéaste et chorégraphe Danseur, vidéaste et chorégraphe. Sa contamination entre la danse, la vidéo et la réalité caractérise sa recherche artistique. Il tente de transmettre à ses danseurs le pouvoir de l'interprétation personnelle afin que chacun puisse exprimer au mieux son âme.

Art vidéo | dv | couleur | 10:35 | Espagne | 2009
There is a table in the middle of the countryside, but the guests are absent. There is a feast of food and wine waiting in the cold weather and the dry landscape. The vultures are to come and eat our food and destroy our setting: the still life, the banquet, the space of enjoyment and civilization. The vultures, the beasts linked to death and dirt, to violence and fear, arrive by surprise, and like in a fable, represent for us some of our own qualities.
Greta Alfaro (Spain, 1977) is currently studying an MA in Photography at the Royal College of Art, London. In recent years she has been the recipient of several grants and scholarships among which are Matadero-City Council of Madrid, Casa de Velázquez, Fundación BilbaoArte, the Government of Mexico or the Genesis Foundation.

"Coming Soon" reprend 218 intertitres tirés bandes-annonces, des années 30 à 2019. Ces intertitres sont juxtaposés et montés chronologiquement, afin de ne conserver que le texte "coming soon". En 10 minutes environ, une attente est créée par la répétition de cette expression cinématographique, dans laquelle on ne sait pas exactement ce qu’on attend - s'agit-il de quelque chose d'extérieur à la vidéo ou d'un événement en soi? Quelque chose est toujours en train d'arriver; cela n'arrive jamais et/ou c’est déjà arrivé.

The camera's eye returns obsessively to the same places, a vertical perspective that imposes control, the possession of archaeological sites, stones lying for thousands years in the desert. The places it observes, however, are not deserted: we see, as if glimpsed from afar, the peasants working the land, themselves transformed into landscape. Something disturbs the stillness of the place: explosions on land and in the sea prepare the ground for new cities with new names, new forests. This landscape is transformed into a scenography of appropriation.
Palestinian filmmaker Kamal Aljafari studied at the Kunsthochschule für Medien Köln and currently lives in Berlin. He has taught filmmaking at The New School (New York) and the DFFB (Berlin). He is a fellow at the Institute for Ideas and Imagination of Columbia University. In May 2024, IndieLisboa dedicated a retrospective to his work. In 2024 his film UNDR was selected at IFFR and A Fidai Film at Visions du Réel, where it won the Grand Jury Prize Burning Lights Competition. Aljafari is currently working on a fiction film to be shot in Jaffa.

Filmed in a neglected expat housing complex in Hawalli, this out of context mirage disorients the familiarity or nostalgia of the space. The multicultural neighborhood vibrates with a multicultural working force who have consciously migrated from their diverse backgrounds to participate in the daily routine designated by a profiting developer. The tiling of the colonnade, as is the tiling of the dress, is reflective of the blurring of these expat cultures to camouflage within the existing- the existing which is not only foreign to them but foreign to the space - creating the out of context "Where am I?" phenomenon. These diverse cultures try to adapt to a "?" culture imposed by another country whilst struggling to identify between pre-imposed ethnic stereotypes and their traditional heritage. The freedom of the body is limited to the disproportion of the imposed cage, irritated within the larger cage of the structure.
Dana Aljouder is a designer, writer, and performance artist who graduated with a Bachelors Architecture from Pratt Institute in 2009. She received the Twinings Scholarship to research allegories of the Medici in Renaissance Art in Florence, and is currently an academic researcher for the Kuwait Pavilion at the Venice Biennale 2014. She has also presented her furniture "The Chair" at Higgins Hall Gallery in Brooklyn in 2009 and "Kursi" at the Design Terminal in Budapest in 2013.

Cronache di vita di Dorothea Ïesj S.P.U.
Fiction expérimentale | digital | couleur | 83:26 | Italie | 2024
“Life Chronicles of Dorothea Ïesj S.P.U.” is a film written and directed by Italian collective ALMARE. The film is set in a future society, in which an imaginary technology called ECHO detects on any surface sound waves imprinted over centuries, making them readable as an archaeological sound-find. “Life Chronicles” follows the voice diary entries of researcher Dorothea Ïesj. Her precarious financial situation drove her into sound-finds trafficking, especially in ancient erotic sounds. Thus began a smuggling network run with her friends and colleagues Juliette, Tancred and Miss Lowenhaupt. Thanks to them, Dorothea receives a scholarship funded by the military industry and the powerful fraternity S.P.U., to study antique warfare sounds. During her research, Dorothea extracts a sequence of cannon shots and Soviet naval sirens. This discovery arouses the interest of a range of misfit buyers who will stop at nothing to get hold of those «talking relics». Entirely filmed from movable type prints "Life Chronicles of Dorothea Ïesj S.P.U." is an imageless film which straddles the borders between radio drama, cinema and literature. The screenplay is written in a dystopian language that mixes ancient and contemporary Italian and openly alters excerpts from essays and novels.
Founded in Turin in 2017 by Amos Cappuccio, Giulia Mengozzi, Luca Morino and Gabriele Rendina Cattani, ALMARE is an artistic-curatorial collective dedicated to contemporary practices that use sound as an expressive medium. ALMARE works between artistic and curatorial practices, through writing, collective research, sound and music production, concert organisation, performance lectures, talks and exhibitions. In 2020, ALMARE inaugurated the production of its first feature film and audio-drama “Life Chronicles of Dorothea Ïesj S.P.U.”

The Majority Never Has Right on its Side is a film project about the Summerhill School in England, established in 1921 and still open. The school is known for its anti-authoritarian pedagogy built on the egalitarian principles of A.S. Neill, a socialist schoolmaster from Scotland often described as a “cynical utopian”. The film looks at the school today in relation to its “image” by using the school’s own film and video archive.
Emanuel Almborg’s work is often research-based and includes film, photography, installation and lectures and deals with themes around community and communication, utopian imagination, history and education. His work has recently been shown at Moderna Museet, Malmö and Elizabeth Foundation, New York. He finished the Whitney Independent Study program in New York, 2015 and is currently a PhD candidate at The Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm, Sweden.

Newsreel
Art vidéo | dv | couleur | 8:50 | Suède | 2008
« Newsreel » peut être considéré comme une tentative de décrire et déconstruire l'esthétique des journaux télévisés en prenant comme point de départ un journal du Channel 4 suédois. Les informations quotidiennes jouent un grand rôle dans notre vie de tous les jours. Nous devenons de plus en plus dépendants et habitués à la qualité informative des nouveaux médias. Ils nous font prendre conscience du monde qui nous entoure et du débat mondial. En même temps, on pourrait soutenir que le journal télévisé repose souvent sur une structure narrative que l?on retrouve dans l'histoire du cinéma. « Newsreel » tente d?examiner si, et comment, le présentateur, le décor du studio, et la structure des informations se réfèrent à des règles narratologiques, et ce qui se passe si on les enfreint. S?il est vrai que l'objectif du journal est de nous informer de manière intelligible sur des questions et des événements importants et urgents, l?auteur voudrait repartir de ce qui rend les choses compréhensibles ainsi que poser la question plus large : qu?est-ce que l'intelligibilité ? En séparant les informations des procédés qui en communiquent le contenu, l?auteur veut créer la possibilité de prendre de la distance et de regarder le journal télévisé d?un ?il différent.

The characteristics of our subconsciousness has its own model of reality. Human-being is trying to distinguish where simulation starts and ends. But the self-reflection of consciousness is full of absurdity itself... What is REAL? And what is REALLY happening?

Terranova
Doc. expérimental | digital | couleur et n&b | 50:0 | Cuba | 2021
Cities do not repeat themselves; they transmute. The city of Havana is portrayed in Terranova as a phantasmagorical, magical, and sensory space. An urban landscape created through reflections, glimpses of other cities, and visions of the future.

The Motherfucker's Birthday
Film expérimental | mp4 | couleur | 6:20 | Iraq, USA | 2024
Through dancing, the film shows the evil of the dictator and the horror people endure under powerful political leaders. Saddam dances, Bush dances, so what's left for the Iraqi people except to join in.

Bitter with a Shy Taste of Sweetness contrasts the fragmented past of the filmmaker growing up in Baghdad with his surreal California present. Through poetic writing and jarring visuals, the film creates a calm and cruel sense of memory and landscape.

we began by measuring distance
Vidéo expérimentale | dv | couleur | 19:0 | Palestine, Egypte | 2009
Long still frames, text, language, and sound are weaved together to unfold the narrative of an anonymous group who fill their time by measuring distance. Innocent measurements transition into political ones, drawing to an examination of how image and sound communicate history, tragedy, and the complication of Palestinian nationalism. The work explores an ultimate disenchantment with facts when the visual fails to communicate the tragic.
