Attempting a backflip is not exactly safe. You can break your neck, or land on your head, or land badly on your wrists. So, I let my avatar learn the trick. He practices on a 6-core processor with the help of Machine Learning.

In the dark swamps of a nocturnal forest, a group of gleaming axolotls is in heat, nuzzling and nibbling one another’s limbs. Soon a much larger, two-legged forest-dweller encounters the lustful group and reaches down to gobble one of the small shimmering creatures. His plump friends begin to partake as well and a feast begins. While dawn is slowly breaking, a cheerful game begins higher up in the branches.

The experimental film “sfumato” is based on a multi-channel video installation by Berlin-based artist Robert Seidel, pushing the limits of abstract painting in the digital age. In a time of complete virtualization of knowledge, work and monetary flows, painting finally can be in the same state of flux beyond the constraints of a physical material. The title refers to one of the four canonical painting modes of Renaissance art, a technique that emphasizes soft transition between colours and tones. By taking this concept of blurring clear lines and borders the spectral “all-over” composition offers a myriad of subtle gradations and erratic shifts of focal planes. “sfumato” unleashes a sublime moment of pure abstraction expanding the ideas of painting into an asymmetrical orchestration of video painting sequences. The source material is based on a convolute of analogue painting and drawing sketches by the artist, which were dissolved with a self-developed video synthesizer and fused into a continuous visual stream of prismatic colour volumes. “sfumato” is part of his ongoing research in the field of experimental, process-based “moving paintings”, which create a coherent and personal utopia of Robert Seidel, pointing towards the universal possibilities of art in the flow of history and its friction with today.

This experimental animation by Max Hattler approaches Hong Kong’s built environment from the conceptual perspective of celluloid film, by applying the technique of film animation to the photographic image. The city’s signature architecture of horizon-eclipsing housing estates is reimagined as parallel rows of film strips: Serial Parallels.

POSTPARTUM describes the chaotic phase of life in which the protagonist finds herself after becoming a mother for the first time. Pumped up with hormones and lacking sleep, this intense phase has burned deep into her heart. The overwhelming and absurd first days are narrated as snippets of thoughts and visualised by short animations. The mother dreams that she should feed her baby with »Mett« (ground pork) and she wonders whether breastfeeding mothers will survive the longest when the apocalypse is imminent, because they could feed themselves.
