FAQ

What is this?

This is a film-art experience we’re purposefully very mysterious about. Also, it’s been said that it’s a bit scary.

What is this about then?

It’s about you, it’s about me, it’s about humans meeting technology, it’s about the future, it’s about manipulation, it’s about us.

Who would you recommend partaking in this, whatever it is?

The intellectually curious and brave.

Could you say a bit more?

No.

Where can I find it?

It will pop up in places when the time is right. If you want to stay in the loop, send a message to imu_nextup@pm.me.

Could you say a bit more : ) ?

Ookay. As the work is cutting edge in terms of machine learning as well as a novel sonic and cinematic exploration – we’re going at it in an experimental way. This means we’re releasing prototypes as we go, that you, the audience can interact with and reflect on. This input we’ll take on for the next prototype, and so on. So you really can become part of the process of creation, by just, well, experiencing. It’s why we don’t want to prime you with too much info.

Who is ‘we’?

That’s director/filmmaker Juul van der Laan, composer Kit Wilmans Fegradoe and creative programmer Luuk Schipperheyn. In this case.

Have you already done this?

Yes. Our first prototype was presented during a summer’s Kunstavond at WORM, Rotterdam (NL). It was blazing hot at 34 degrees celsius, we had to cool our computer with ice cubes (no joke) – but it worked! And we thank our open minded and involved first audience for their responses to it.
