I Am Machine, m. Finkel, Robbie Shilstone, USA, 2021, 3’39’’

When struggling with their sense of identify, Red abandons their definition in search of finding a truer sense of self. What starts as freeing and limitless turns unclear and erratic. Reality twists away until they are left alone in complete abstraction. It is here where definition helps lift and guide Red to find a new sense of self.

Zen for TV, m. Pin Park, Aga Jarząb, Maciek Bączyk, Poland 2022, 5’46’’

Ambient piece ZEN for TV is a nostalgic reminiscence of the times when a TV broadcast could end for the day before our eyes. TV used to finish the transmission a few minutes after midnight. Then the screen turned black and white, filled with noise. With a little bit of imagination, in that noise one could see stone zen gardens, patiently raked by a silent monk. Gazing at the end of the TV programme was some sort of electronic meditation of the late 80s. The animated music video helps to grasp the concept of it.
