Vilém Flusser: Bodenlos / Playing against the apparatus
We hope that by combining a number of various artworks and projects, hints of possibility will begin to emerge, from which a way out of today’s situation, that is oppressive on many levels, can slowly be carved. When it seems there is nowhere to run, we can try running into the future – and from there, start to reshape the present.
Josef Holý focuses on the topics of information warfare, disinformation and the influence of algorithms of technological giants on our lives. How are and have these themes been reflected among artists working with moving image? The depiction of artificial intelligence or artificial humans has a fairly firm place in the history of visual art and is associated with many ethical issues that have realistically impacted us today.
