🤖 Covid 19 Masks (Lucid Sonic Dreams) Remake 😷

Masks and machines are older than we think they are. They’re part of the fabric of everyday life. Masks are what you wear when you don’t want to be seen, and machines are what we use to perform everyday tasks

“The Altering of Reality” and CovidMasks

Masks and machines are older than we think. There is a specific obscurity about them. Mythologically the fascination of a mask has accompanied humanity since the dawn of Time. Neolithic stone age masks date back to 9000 years! The film CovidMasks depicts a psychotic state of a perception through an unaffected being. The point of view determines the absurdity of a deprecated perception as a collective whole. “The collective” whole’s delusion of reality would define this specific state of perception more precisely. Something as powerful as a mask and a machine combined however, could trigger an even more futuristic concept of the fusion of man and machine. This video clearly depicts a dystopian outcome of a “cyborg human” fully dominated by the machine entity. The AI Fusion – Quantum – Computer!

 
The moral of the story is that in a future where masks hide emotions, we lose a crucial anchor for evaluating and perceiving characters. This lack of veracity is a cognitive violation, altering and corrupting our sense of reality. As a result, this could lead to a complete loss of empathy on both sides of the character dynamic – that is, if machines ever reach the intelligence required to become sentient. However, for this to happen, the host (the biological agent) would need to merge with and ultimately gain control over the carbon-based and organic life forms.

VULCAN | FUTURE PAST

Director / Animator: Gero Doll
Music & Sound design: Olivier Girardot
Mastering: Jan Driver

(excerpt)

The film addresses the vast amount of negative impact in a society, based on capital and greed.The emphasis is on the reckless approach of capital corporations towards the environment, aiming to maximize profits. It is clear that constant growth is linked with imminent and predictable collapse, which in turn contributes to an ongoing circle of destruction and reconstruction.. [/su_highlight]

 

In this scenario of climate war and the collapse of societies, a fictional Cyborg character witnesses these events which are linked to the reckless power of greed for oil and other natural resources. This in results in large scale conflict and world war, also involving nuclear weapons in the end.[/su_highlight]

In return, the living planet counteracts with extreme weather and natural disasters, like volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, drought and many unforeseen consequences. The film does not convey a particular story. Nor is it directly linked to reality. But the style and the images are projected in a coherent order, to evoke a notion of a cyber dystopian future staged in a Sci-Fi scene with a ticking time bomb until doomsday. A collapse / apocalypse humans could have avoided, but history has proven them wrong. A metaphorical nightmare, into the abyss of dark forces at work, which are hauntingly real in the world’s current state.[/su_highlight]

Some might argue that conspiracies are necessary to bring about change for the better. In its core, the film mostly addresses the concerning components of the destruction of the environment and civilisation in the 21st century: Nuclear war, followed by climate change and other disruptive modern technology, which the governments implement and use on societies. There are many more and this film was made merely from a subjective standpoint. A future that nobody would want to live in, even though these are only computer graphics and can be viewed from a “safe distance”. This is a relatively new medium and art form, more relevant in today’s societies and art galleries than ever before. The film acts as a subliminal warning. It’s for the character in the film to decide on how to start acting, or to re-live the nightmare over and over again.

HUMAN EYE

HUMAN EYE
A brief reflection and retrospect of all internal notions, nightmares and dreams. A complex mixture of the human psyche and how this relates to the natural processing of information.
Superstition and Magic. The Occult. How people around the world and especially in Africa relate to this old and malicious superstition throughout human history. Death is the indirect inverse of war. The film reveals the subconscious of an eminent struggle, of life and death. It reveals a metaphysical world of fractured memories, dreams hidden deep from what our senses can perceive. The film reveals the metaphysical world, which is believed to directly or indirectly affect reality, (or that what is perceived to be “real” and perceived by the human eye. The eye, as the viewer of all things, plays an important part in the film. It is the foreseer, much like the mind’s eye which overlooks all “inner” events. The eye in the film represents a more universal observer. A mystical being of such, not to be confused with any ideological or religious concepts or purpose. Nature is radical, shows no mercy and acts out of pure necessity! Its origin is uncertain but it has been around since the dawn of what humans call the dawn of time. The eye is the scavenger of the soul, it takes in whatever visible light frequencies are allowed in it’s scope of observation. In the film the viewer explores the possibility of cultural and social elements focusing on oblivious societies. It might not be of importance to the so called first world countries. For example, ethical and social principles which were brought to Africa by the Europeans. Africans living under the foundation of the western Biblical establishment, without realizing what they were confronted with. The film depicts a turning point of what happens to societies, or undermines to a certain extent what remains “unseen” to the mind’s eye, when dominating religious organizations form a so called “dictatorship of thought” or a “dictatorship of belief” dictating what is to be understood by religious indoctrination. On unconscious or psychological levels, we remain at the mercy of our imagination. Thus leaving the mind vulnerable to other states of consciousness and thereby also making it vulnerable to ideology.

Advanced Truth

NWAF16_laurels_white_240x176

 

 

 

Advanced truth – Synopsis Advanced Truth is a Film depicting “The Nature of Things” – visualizing the subconscious world of imagination, meta imagery and using this “unpredictability” and “accidents” as a metaphor for the internet. Things that seem unreal and utterly uncanny. However, resonating with many of us by stimulating the limbic system of ancient fears and emotions of the “human animal”. This imagination is revealed by the possibility of today’s revolutionizing computer technology and software. More important, is the Code the, “Driving Force” behind these software. Maybe a sort of universal code if you will… This “code” was also used in a metaphorical sense in the film, by triggering an capturing generative motion. The main concept behind the film “Advanced Truth” is to use the 3D environment of an application and to film the animated objects and events as in real life, as though we would experience them in virtual reality. Let’s see what the future brings and how this new technology and Advanced Truth will hopefully affect the consciousness of future humans in a positive way.

Logan’s Run

Produced at Coworking Space @ hirschen.de
THANKS!

Synopsis.

Logan’s Run is a Short experimental Music Animation I created in the past 3 Months.
Initially the Idea was to create a film, depicting a Character that was lost in it’s own subconsciousness.

Story:

The Main Character Logan, walks with handicapped motion in a lonely surreal environment, as she battles to survive…
Non the less, this does not keep her from going on.

Suddenly, strange creatures with jagged heads and marshmallow body’s creep up on her.
At the same time crippled and manipulated spring heads attached to melting bodies go crazy.

Robot like machines driving in circles and bumping into each other– A hallucinatory trip loaded with unexpected character animation.

Suddenly at the end the “floating Clown”, peacefully and cheerfully floating through the calm thin breeze, interrupts the chaos.
However, the floating clown shows negative effects of consumerism thus he is surrounded by orbiting junk.

Everything

Everything is a Short Animation Inspired by the Track “Fok” from Olafur Arnalds.

The computerized voice of a child reminded me of some distant childhood memory concerning the

fear of death and drenched my soul in sadness.

However this Video depicts a rather optimistic view on life. It is rather an Imaginative thing.
