Current, 2019 - the film #current_cam

Current is a speculation on the future of broadcasting cinema. It emerges from the intersection of contemporary trends in live streaming culture, volumetric cinema, AI deep fakes and personalized narratives. The film Current is an experiential example of what this cinema might look and feel like within a few years based on the convergence of these trends. As artificial intelligence increasingly molds the clay of the cinematic image, it optimises its vocabulary to project information in a more dynamic space, embeds data in visuals without deconstructing its complexity, and directs a new way of seeing, from planar to global, flat to volumetric, personal to planetary. This information rich space implies an economy of values, that has potential in multiple live-streams, especially as this artificially generated content enters deep learning algorithms of personalization. Current was conceived during the Strelka New Normal post-grad research program. For more info and credits visit
