A.D.A.M.

Pablo Roldan, CHILE
(17:00)

In the not too distant future, in the Republic of Chile, the young detective Joyce Nova fulfills her functions in a thin horizon between law, morality and her particular vision of justice: after having suffered a horrendous crime firsthand. and that the criminal has been protected by the political power in office, his idealization of a just world has become dark and punctual. The closest thing to justice and criminal punishment, for Joyce, will be revenge. It will thus have A.D.A.M. before his analytical gaze a calculation of probabilities that, like Joyce, will lead him to the border, to the horizon of the law: that greyish space where, apparently, automation is lost and autonomy is gained, the feeling of ” To be”. Will it go through A.D.A.M. the threshold of your programming by Joyce or, perhaps, why justice demands it?

Life managed by technology, even in its smallest aspects, crystallizes human relations, which implies the stripping of the sovereignty of our empathy as subjects. To regain control of life, subjects may need to pay attention and submit consciously/voluntarily to the technology that governs them; because for the unknowing subject called, it is easier to follow an already guided action that presents less of a challenge to act or to shelter under the complicity of someone who will protect them without questioning the health of their ontology. Life managed by technology, even in its most important aspects, crystallizes human relations, which means stripping the sovereignty of our empathy as subjects. To regain control of life, subjects may need to pay attention and some knowledge consciously/voluntarily to the technology that governs them; due to the fact that the stranger is called a subject, it is easier to follow an already guided action which presents us with less of a challenge to act or watch under the complicity of someone who protects them without questioning the health of their ontology.

Pygmalion Infection

Eskandari Fard, BULGARIA
(4:44)

The animated dance drama Pygmalion Infection corresponds to the latest trends in contemporary dance, and animation that explores human behavior in its interaction with robot dolls, Internet addiction known as “digital heroin,” and violence against women. The plot is built as a fantastic love drama between the main character Pygmalion and an android doll. One of the most all-consuming problems of our world, namely loneliness, is being studied. An eccentric sound-music environment uses the eclecticism of the unique sound of classical music by J.S. Bach, opposed and combined with different sound atmospheres and drum rhythms. In the psychopathology of the 21st century, new all-consuming addictions are taking place, but rediscovered through the eyes of the ancient transformation, the ancient Greek myth of Pygmalion is presented in an eccentrically relevant way. Examining the reflections of the topic in modern times, the statistical forecast indicates that by 2033 every tenth sexual contact in the world will be between a man and an android.
