This is Not an Algorithm
In his video Parallel I, German artist Harun Farocki explored the rapid evolution of computer animation. He showed how digital images have advanced from simple line drawings to complex visuals that rival traditional cinema in representing dynamic reality. A decade after his observations, generative algorithms are shaping not only our perception of the real world but, in some cases, the world itself. The films in this programme highlight the growing influence of hyper-realistic simulations, which underpin most modern video games and are becoming increasingly common in other fields with the development of artificial intelligence.
