The Artist in the Machine
Claudia Larcher / Austria / 2022 / Czech Premiere / 3 min.
synopsis
The image of a shabby façade, whose transformations are set in motion by artificial intelligence, loses one clue after another and ruthlessly tests our ability to recognise shape. The film was co-created with Claudia Larcher by Generator and Discriminator, neural networks that fed off the paper collages Baumeister (2011–2021), which Larcher created from clippings from architectural magazines. A soundtrack of unstable rippling images was derived by “helpers” called Dynascore and Imaginary Soundscape.“I think the screen is a heterotopia in and of itself, a space that becomes “other” and inserts itself into our living environment.”
