Crimes of the Future
A visceral journey into a grisly world of embodied posthuman performance art
Robert Seidel premieres his latest experimental film, Hysteresis , at Filmfest Dresden , Germany, marking the artist’s first foray into AI and modern dance. Berlin-based Seidel uses machine-learning to mediate dense feedback loops of analogue drawings projected onto a performer’s choreography, corrupting the AI to unveil a “frenetic, delicate, flamboyant visual language of the hysteria and hysteresis in this historical moment.”

Marie Foulston
The Grannies
Foulston ’s documentary follows a group of players—the Grannies—beyond the boundaries of the videogame
Red Dead Online (2018) and into “an ethereal space that reveals the humanity and materiality of digital creations.”
“Vive le cinéma! Art & Film” opens at Eye Film Museum, Amsterdam. A celebration of the venue’s 75th anniversary, the show assembles work by filmmakers from five continents including Lucrecia Martel (Argentina), and Lemohang Jeremiah Mosese (Lesotho), and Jia Zhangke (China). Beyond films, it includes several instances of space-as-film —a light–colour study by Netherlands-based video installation duo Leopold Emmen (image), and an architecture-scale film reel that the viewer steps into, by Mexican director Carlos Reygadas .
The third edition of Cairo’s media art festival, Cairotronica , kicks off a week-long exploration of “Data Fiction” at Tahrir Cultural Center. Between the exhibition, symposium, and performance program, director Haytham Nawar gathers more than 50 regional and international artists including Amira Hanafi , Anna Ridler , Morehshin Allahyari , Liam Young , Nora Al-Badri , and Francois Knoetzke . The latter’s installation Core Dump (2018-, image) situates a series of films that “emerged from the dystopian landfills of consumer culture.”
Paolo Pedercini, head of radical game studio Molleindustria and the Pittsburgh game art gallery LIKELIKE , announces the online restoration of what is arguably North America’s first interactive film: I’m Your Man (1992) is a 20-minute short that was produced to showcase Loews Theatres’ interactive cinema technology. Touted as the first step toward virtual-reality cinema, the entertainment giant retrofitted select New York locations with seat-mounted controllers that let audiences vote on branching narratives. The experiment proved a failure and the equipment was removed in 1994. Thanks to TweeVee , LIKELIKE’s JavaScript engine for interactive video, the oddity can be experienced again.
