This film can go on forever. Or at least until we shut it off. A collaboration between a filmmaker, an artist and a machine, this generative film spans the length of the festival. Based on the visual archive and music of Brian Eno, as well as new interviews, this meditative audiovisual experience is created in real time through the imagination of a machine.

Fly through an abstract world, drawn in by digital ink. Inspired by Taoist philosophy and the writings of Zhuang Zhou, this interactive experience allows the visitor to fly, swim and soar as something other – and maybe more – than human. The game is controlled by moving on a custom-built balance ball controller, which heightens the corporeal experience.
