Digitale '97 Digital Dialects, October 1 - 3, 1997 CINEMATHEK Kâ?¦LN Sâ?¹o Paulo Moscow Tokyo Operating Systems The computer has transformed itself from number-cruncher to a digital technology that enforces worldwide use of a new universallanguage. Directors, artists-developers and cineasts from Sâ?¹o Paulo, Moscow and Tokyo are invited to present and discuss how electronic and digital technology is used in their film production. Can we say that there are digital dialects present at the creation of moving images? Videoartists from Sâ?¹o Paulo use non-linear editing techniques to present a form of image-dribbling within the apparatus of large television networks; here the actual situation determines the relation of man and image. In Moscow, agglomerations between the avantgarde of the past and the new age of the machine are formed. Digital technology is used to restore historical animation and to build independent production facilities like the Studio of Vladimir Kobrin. Tokyo's artists have developed a hybrid language and formed special machine designs. They work in the shadow of a megacity which seems to be permanently aware of natural and military catastrophes. The morning sessions - Operating Systems - are dedicated to new large format films that require unforeseen dimensions of computer technology. In the Cinemathek a videolounge will allow to view separately the visual works from these cities. An experimental server will be configurated for the Internet that reflects the moving images from Sâ?¹o Paulo, Moscow, Tokyo and the Operating Systems.
