MACHINE FAIR
Nebe in a clever move takes the reason prisoner,
only to appoint reason to be the king of his game
of chess. He calls for a close review of the
encyclopedia of our philosophical and cultural
foundations. In his opinion reason has the
potential to direct a path away from the horror
vacui he is depicting. (Rebecca Schoensee, Gaming

ORNITHOLOGICAL ROBOTS
Birds are strange species. Sometimes they bewitch
us with their voices. But there are moments, too,
when they threaten us by flying around our heads
or just by their appearance. Ornithological Robots
is a film about this and the idea of making robots
or machines with birdlike apparance producing
senseless movement and impressing us by nothing
else then their apparance- almost like true birds
in nature.
