Technology is often imagined as a march toward progress, yet these films turn that notion inside out. They reveal the flaws in designs never truly meant to serve us, exposing the strange intimacy between humans and their creations - tools that watch, record, and remember. Together, these fragments form an expanding archive of hilarity and horror, reflecting how deeply our inventions shape the fragile worlds we build around their glow.
A group of "hard-drive swimmers" delve into a stranger's memories, a digital diary builds until the boundary between self and screen dissolves, time is distended to parse out criminal details and landscapes are turned into data for self-driving cars.
The attending filmmakers will join us for a Q&A after the screening.
Contains flashing images, scenes of racism and graphic violence of injury.
Programmed by Gamze Sanli & Najrin Islam.
