[GSSN @G_S_S_N]

From genius to “scenius”—film festivals past-present-future as spaces of conversation, (film) history in the making and political soft power. Massive thank you to @elizabethm_ward for chairing a fantastic roundtable with @rdernbach, @mminopuga and Andrea Gelardi! 👏

[GSSN @G_S_S_N]

@G_S_S_N thanks all participants for a truly fantastic workshop on #screeningpolitics during the Cold War! Thank you for two days full of thought-provoking presentations and discussions on cinematic exhibition during the Cold War as well as its present and future! Stay in touch!

"It was time to dive into collective dreaming, at the risk of stumbling across hallucinations or nightmares. While every form of intelligence, whether emotional, technological or cinematic was open for discussion throughout the night, artificial intelligence was like a magnet”

I am really grateful for the journey that was "A Long Night of Dreaming about The Future of Intelligence" @FilmFestLocarno
More than 600 decided to dream with us. We talked about politics of unintelligibility, synthetic pollution & the dream as method. Thanks you🙏 @MercatorCH

Für @zeitonline durfte ich über die neue Staffel von Futurama schreiben. Die erste nach 10 Jahren. Es ist ein fulminantes Wiedersehen mit Fry, Leela, Zoidberg und Co. Und doch ganz schön nostalgisch, denn die Zukunft steht still. Viel Spaß beim Lesen! https://t.co/0MXQtDPC1M

[Rafael Dernbach @rdernbach]

Thank you for this wonderful conversation. It was truly a feast of critical thinking and post-Internet futures.

[Anna-Verena Nosthoff @AnnaNosthoff]

Our (w. @FMaschewski) discussion with @glovink @newnow_festival is online: We talked about the past & future of net critique, the multiple relations between (big) tech & extinction, and how to advance critical thinking & practice in an age of catastrophes: https://t.co/KhtYHmuOWL
