Digitale '97
Digital Dialects,
October 1 - 3, 1997
CINEMATHEK Kâ?¦LN
Sâ?¹o Paulo
Moscow
Tokyo
Operating Systems
The computer has transformed itself from number-cruncher to a digital
technology that enforces worldwide use of a new universallanguage.
Directors, artists-developers and cineasts from Sâ?¹o Paulo, Moscow and
Tokyo are invited to present and discuss how electronic and digital technology
is used in their film production. Can we say that there are digital dialects
present at the creation of moving images? Videoartists from Sâ?¹o Paulo
use non-linear editing techniques to present a form of image-dribbling
within the apparatus of large television networks; here the actual
situation
determines the relation of man and image.
In Moscow, agglomerations between the avantgarde of the past and the new
age of the machine are formed. Digital technology is used to restore
historical animation and to build independent production facilities like
the Studio of Vladimir Kobrin.
Tokyo's artists have developed a hybrid language and formed special machine
designs. They work in the shadow of a megacity which seems to be
permanently aware of natural and military catastrophes.
The morning sessions - Operating Systems - are dedicated to new large
format films that require unforeseen dimensions of computer technology.
In the Cinemathek a videolounge will allow to view separately the visual
works from these cities.
An experimental server will be configurated for the Internet that reflects
the moving images from Sâ?¹o Paulo, Moscow, Tokyo and the Operating Systems.
