Autopsie d'une intelligence artificielle

Bom Dia Rio

A succession of slices of life paints a general portrait of the city of Rio de Janeiro and its inhabitants; their pace of life, urban patterns, the weight of concrete, ethnic mix, body worship, religion, work, leisure.

Knotte Grosse Loops

These are work-in-progress elements of some commercial projects and a film to be titled, Knotte Grosse. Beckett received an AFI Independent Filmmakers grant to produce Knotte Grosse but it was unfinished at the time of his death. The images allude to computer-generated graphics (but are not) and foreshadow an interesting direction in his work. - Pamela Turner

Not Knot

Not Knot is a guided tour into computer-animated hyperbolic space. It proceeds from the world of knots to their complementary spaces -- what's not a knot. Profound theorems of recent mathematics show that most known complements carry the structure of hyperbolic geometry, a geometry in which the sum of three angles of a triangle always is less than 180 degrees.

Before Macintosh: The Apple Lisa

Explores the history, technology, people, stories and industry influence of this lesser-known personal computer. The film profiles important individuals involved in the creation of the computer, plus its life after cancellation, both as an entry-level Macintosh compatible and as a collectible. The work of Douglas Engelbart and his team, plus advances from the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) with their Alto and Star workstations were the initial innovators of the Graphical User Interface (GUI), but the Apple Lisa stands as the clear foundation for what we all use today -- Macintosh -- Windows -- iOS -- Android.

Biogenesis

Biogenesis shows the evolution of artificial life forms in a synthetic universe where 'survival of the fittest' is replaced by 'survival of the most aesthetic'. We see cellular evolution and the replication of mutations forming chain-like structures resembling coral. The artist is like a gardener, breeding, selecting, marrying and steering the course of evolution for creative ends. The film is a record of this evolutionary process. It can be viewed as a psychedelic experience or a more subtle parody of a man's relationship with the natural world through modern technology.
