Autism - Boreš, Ferat and Mr. Theodor

Theodor Pištěk made Porsche cars famous in the Czech Republic owing to his excellent hyperrealistic paintings from the 1970ies. We invited him for a ride in the latest model of the car and to visit the famous Ferat and Ferdinand Porsche’s birhplace. According to the mayor of Vratislavice, the name of the famous car designer comes suprisingly from the Czech name Boreš, and Mr. Pištěk countered by revealing his passion for cars and speed.

Autism is a new format of short films about motoring, art and broader cultural and civilizational context prepared by the authorial trio Hynek Alt, Pavel Vančát and Jan Vidlička in a co-operation with Artyčok.tv. Pilot series of short-footage profiles of artists and cars related to them aim to conceive a car as a personification of an individuality and self-projection. First three episodes also show interesting cultural personalities in unusual situations and answers. Starring: Theodor Pištěk,Olgoj Chorchoj, Jasanský/Polák, Vladimír 518.

The key significance of the accelerating development of artificial intelligence and other digital systems lies in the fact that they allow us to newly recognize the plurality of other forms of non-human intelligence that we have been “secretly” surrounded by all along. We needed to invent thinking machines to notice that everything around us is thinking.
