SUMMARY:Ghosts and Guests in the Machine: Animism and Technology
DESCRIPTION:Film is historically based on animating single shots into moving images – therefore one can look as film as a technic of animation beyond animation as a genre of film. With this comes the impression of liveliness that is the result of the cinematographic animation of the spectator. We animate machines\, machines animate us. This simple reciprocity grounds the basic relationship between hands\, tools\, instruments\, machines etc. and the human body as senso-motoric perceptive player. Leaving the dualism that came with the concept of mind as  ‘ghost in the machine’ of a physical\, mechanical body or the master narrative of machines as the alien who intrudes a human world and body I will explore specific cases of technologically produced and enhanced art works how the interplay between machines and humans may point to a technoaesthetic that offers a wider horizon on this interaction. \nProf. Dr. Gertrud Koch.
