FUTURONOW

On many occasions, artistic processes produce images located halfway between the great western work and the academic exercise of the apprentice. In this sample you will find novel and exciting proposals of people who for first time venture into the experimental genre. Some very young, others not so much.

When you look into the screen, it is possible to believe that the images that are projected on it come from within us, the images captivate, but even so, they cause us bewilderment. For a moment it may seem that everything is intertwined, but then disorder arises again, the digital is shown to us as a labyrinth, created in our shape and likeness.

Faces, bodies and actions are juxtaposed endlessly. Fragmented pieces of the woman come together and form the volume of what has been her image in the history of cinema; one marked by the routinary domination and exploitation of her body. A short film homage to Laura Mulvey and her contributions to feminist film theory.

An intimate film essay that explores the affectional bonds in human groups that use music to express themselves non-verbally. With material recorded over two decades, in different formats and latitudes, the film is a reappropriation of the images of different Rock bands on tour that reflects on the feelings and emotions that create ties and identity traits for the marginalized, using the ideas of the Arab historian Ibn Khaldun on nomadic and sedentary societies as a guideline.

Rhythm 2021 is the product of a research-creation process carried out at the Faculty of Arts of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia (Bogotá) by the research group “Espacio de Producción Abierta de Medios” (Open Media Production Space). It is based on a formal experimentation with abstractions initially inspired by the short film “Rhythmus 21” by Hans Richter (Germany, 1921) and which proposes computer code as a new materiality for audiovisual creation in an analogous way to what celluloid represented a century ago in Richter’s short film. This version, called “prototype” because the short film can be considered a computer program, is a video rendering of the original program coded on the creative coding language Processing. All images and sounds were generated by computer code on this language, thus questioning the old duality between image and words, since the whole proposal was written in instructions to be interpreted by a computer. Following this, a new paradigm of audiovisual production is experienced where the workflow is closer to software production than to normal audiovisual authoring. Thus, “Rhythm 2021” is an integral experiment in form, product and creative process. Due to its mixed media features, this project can be seen as an experimental film, an animation film or a software art piece.
