The video follows the hypothesis of an inevitable emergence of artificial super-intelligence. A new species of digital entities is being born, letting us observe the way they experience their cyber bodies, the social construction of time and the concept of absolute void.
Alexandra Mavrofridi (1993) works in various media including painting, photography, video, music and writing. The Greek artist constructs a multifaceted body of work that defies categorization. She translates dreams into a single frame, creating disturbing images of land existing without time, in which supernatural forces mingle with realistic order of the world. Her tales do not end with a triumph of good or evil. But usually shows only the moment of the story’s culmination, the moment of the suspension of the action in which the story accumulates, and the direction of its solution is impossible to determine.
The accessibility in every source of information makes the individual vulnerable to his choices. The human perception composes “the helping hand “or “lethal hand” which will guide him on his journey to his evolutionary progress or not. The effect of running information, makes us blind fellow travelers of ourselves. Focusing on the inside as much as focusing on the outside, it’s a matter of necessity. Contemporary man owes to evolve consciously into the abstract chasm among various briefing and personal needs. For the purpose of not ending up totally desolate and lost inside the horizon of a modern algorithmic chaos.

A series of 13 micro-animation loops inspired by exotic ways to end life on Earth or even the Universe itself. The animations resonate directly with specific themes of apocalyptic futures, in mathematical, physical, technological or even in exotic and religious ways. Though the theme is an apocalyptic one the animations are not violent or scary, instead they are minimal, floating in the mystic space of the digital uncanny. The intention is to create a relaxing, hypnotizing feeling of immersion into the surreal, serene, dreamy World of desolation that we call the Future.
Antonis Rozakis is a video artist and video editor. He has taken part in various festivals around the world and received awards for his projects. His video-art draws inspiration mainly from his feelings, based on experiences or memories, or things he feels without knowing why. He simply feels them. He aims to find emotional freedom and liberation through his artistic expression and feels great joy and connection with others when they also see parts of themselves in his films.
Escape Shadows (from Athens) is a project dedicated to the act of escaping and the cessation of normality, as perceived by the individual. Besides escaping a daily existence in front of the office, the computer or in connection to another activity, the notion of escaping can also be a reference to a deeper desire with regards to changing course towards a more esoteric condition, which has not yet surfaced to the light of our conscious perception, so as we can see it and follow it.Follow the course of our shadows.

Interference | 0.7 Created by ARos & Christina (c) 2016 The work is versioned: 0.7 – meaning it is shown as what is commonly called a “beta” version. “Interference” came of life as a discussion subject on existential questions. It is hard to record all the invisible dynamics covering all aspects of human, global, and cosmological activity. Are we forgetting that we are not the only facilitators? On a different note, how much of ourselves is part of what is in between? Can we grasp what interferes in between and before/after anything?
Christina Lykoka is a visual artist in the analogue and digital – still and moving media realm. Athens, New York, Toronto, and the Czech Republic have been her base. Her work has been featured in animation, video art, and film festivals around the world including the print medium.

She graduated as a Professional Make Up Artist and then decided to further her education in Audiovisual Arts, where she is currently completing her Master’s degree at Ionian University. Her use of the human body as a canvas conveys emotional and spatial qualities that can be seen in all her works where she attempts the merging of make-up and bodypainting with performance and installation art.
When one repeats the name of SISIPHUS, it seems to wheeze out of exhaustion, connecting the word to the hero’s fate and the sign to what is being signified. The video processes the myth spatially and visually, through the interpretation of Albert Camus for the absurd hero, whom Sisyphus personalizes. A set of visual and spatial tools reveal elements of the myth: perpetual repetition, vanity, physical effort, entrapment, and the influence of time. Trapped in an endless journey SISIPHUS challenges the significance of the end and beginning; bound by divine intervention or internal struggle? When does Camus’ absurd hero emerge?

Social media are influencing social behavior and consumerism as they are parts of our lives. Pop culture categorizes everything from viral videos to socio-political sarcasm. The proliferation of social media has led to Internet memes spreading very quickly and reaching more people. Internet memes are objects of interest on the Internet that are passed around in a memetic manner. This project is based on internet memes and the concept of ‘Filter bubble’ as Eli Pariser first named and who is also the person that analyzed the ‘personal ecosystem’, in which the viewers through ‘cookies’ and memes are isolating . This project is a comment on how our online experience is becoming statistic. How the viewers became ‘the product’.

The video-manifesto attempts a redefinition of queerness through the lens of glitch – as a theoretical tool for analysing random and sudden interruptions or changes in systems of power and governance – while simultaneously a queer reading of the “Glitch Studies Mafinesto”. Queerness is being understood as a fatal error of the otherwise impermeable patriarchal algorithm; an error that can be both threatening and enchanting, both destructive and liberating.
Evi Stamou (b.1985 in Patras, Greece) is a filmmaker, video artist and curator based in Athens. She is interested in a broader approach to the nature of the moving image, creating to that effect, non-linear narrative and experimental films in an effort to examine the aesthetic boundaries between the more traditional cinematic forms and the evolving approaches of modern art. Her works have been selected to participate in international film festivals, video art festivals and contemporary art exhibitions in Greece and abroad (Cinemed International Mediterranean Film Festival of Montpellier, Venice International Experimental Art Festival, Athens Digital Arts Festival – ADAF etc.)
”Memory Lane” is a study of the contemporary urban landscape of Athens.Hidden behind a never ending strip of deserted industrial sites and empty office spaces, lies the memory of a promising past.The film’s styles and techniques are inspired by some of the late 20th century’s most recognizable visual trends, such as arcade games graphics, silkscreen printing and the once so fashionable blots of the Rorschach test. I made this video to try and address the question: ”Will the stuff that our memories are made of, stand the test of time?”.
Βorn and raised in Athens – and hopefully alive. She explores the phenomena through theater, video and motion design. As a result, movement is an essential element in her life and in her work. She first studied Theater and afterwards Applied Fine Arts but living the big city life can be both inspiring and dispiriting. The motto is to seek the roads of balance, of clarity, of dance… She is concerned with the combination of theater with moving image and digital media in general. And much more.
“Much Ado About Nothing” is based on the nihilistic perception of the Dadaists where nothing, zero, is left no more, since the abuse of logic dissolves the human sense and the illusion of art. As long as zeroing, in life and in art, becomes an essential trait of our time, as long as we accept it as an inevitable feature of a functioning society that communicates and takes care with an accounting way and a type of on/off sentimentalism attached to its automation and oblivion, any diametrically opposed philosophy of life becomes much more important.
Iris Bournazou is an Athens (GR) based New Media/Visual artist, exploring new aesthetics through the concepts of trace, aura and space. She graduated from the Department of Fine and Applied Arts of the University of Western Macedonia, Greece as well as from the Institute of Fine Arts in Siena, Italy. She specializes in digital video, new media (image, sound) and painting. Iris’s Bournazou work employs the use of loops, glitch, video mapping and visual installations which basically pose three types of matter: instinct, space and time. The core of her work is characterized by an intuitive level, through which the form, the atmosphere and the concept of trace are externalized. Her work has been presented in solo and group exhibitions, such as Interia Vox | UOWM (2019, GR), Time for Diversity (2020, RO), Intersectional 2.0 (2020, DE), Ichnos | ADAF Athens Digital Arts Festival (2020-2021, GR) and more.
Ichnos. Trace. A concept that can be interpreted in many ways and is characterized by an intuitive level through which, the energy of an internal content, is externalized. How can the trace be defined? How can the notion of a trace within a field be understood? The concept of trace indicates the sign that the act of walking leaves, but consequently anything left over from the passage of a situation, a reference system of ideas. The field is a vast landscape of interpretations – the very essence of a succession of moments that don’t exist yet, but they will. As the traces of fields settle, they reunite again and create different experiences.

‘Us’ explores the idea of singularity in relation to the notion of the collective consciousness. It revolves around the idea that human tools and knowledge, evolved throughout history, are an extension of the mind. As human species, we share some collective knowledge. One can claim that when one uses smartphones, they utilise other people’s brains, of those who invented that smartphone. This creates a form of collective knowledge and consequently a form of collective consciousness. In this post-human condition, what happens when machines and knowledge merge into one extended mind, one distributed intelligence, that everyone shares and have access to
Contesting the division between the realm of memory and the realm of experience, Makis` aim is to redefine the “space”, often by fragmenting materials and movements that form a continuum where virtual spaces and physical domains, connect and merge, reconstructing it into three-dimensional or two-dimensional structures in a multi-layered way. His work demonstrates how life extends beyond its own subjective limits and focuses on the nature of movement, materiality and immateriality – exploring transformative mutations of our world, in which biological entities coexist with virtual life-forms, challenging the relationship between human and space.
In the video work “What is a Man Without a Shadow”, a digital morphogenesis via AI is being used, creating new forms that replace the former ones, through the logic of optimization, via an open system of states of constant interaction. Images get gradually degraded, revealing entities that change the consistency of space and time, with an average entropy value, enabling new realities to be tested in a virtual space. Consecutively, that allows the evolution of beings who strive to mark their existence in sequences that interact, passing from one situation to another, generating the genetic material of the project.
One of the main concerns of the artist is why people tend to confuse security with happiness and in which way art can reshape the viewers’ spiritual configuration, depending on their sense of aesthetics and critical thinking. The artist claims he has not yet found an answer to this question, but he surely enjoys the pursuit of it. He embrace his personal and artistic values, through nature, science and philosophy. Anastasakos is a modern artist in a postmodern era. He has the traits of an artist who wanders, doubts, confronts and at the same time has a very clear idea of what he wants to do.
“While sailing in these latitudes on one very dark night, the sea presented a wonderful and most beautiful spectacle. There was a fresh breeze, and every part of the surface, which during the day is seen as foam, now glowed with a pale light. The vessel drove before her bows two billows of liquid phosphorus, and in her wake she was followed by a milky train. As far as the eye reached, the crest of every wave was bright, and the sky above the horizon, from the reflected glare of these livid flames, was not so utterly obscure, as over the rest of the heavens.” Charles Darwin

ECTASIS-ECTOPLASIS II is video collage consisting of five moving images and two digital voices. “Ectasis” refers to contemporary world expansions and “ectoplasis” to meta-physics of ability, success, progress. The voices guide us to a future of possibility and effectiveness while we are watching scenes of an astrologer’s shop in Athens, Akherousia lake and China’s ghost cities.

In psychology, mental time travel (also called “chronosthesia”) is the capacity to mentally reconstruct personal events from the past (episodic memory) as well as to imagine possible scenarios in the future (episodic foresight / episodic future thinking). ‘How our thoughts are traveling while we are going down 368 meters inside an elevator? A fascinating feeling of speed an intensity of the rare moment, and the dissolution of anything that could vanish. Imagine going down and at the same time all thoughts to be reduced to crumbles, to nothingness, giving place to a newborn reality of motion, of stillness, of repetition, similar to a wandering mind.’

Humans, with their actions and choices can disrupt space and time. Humans, tiny and insignificant for the universe yet huge and powerful for their own social universe. What happens when man ceases to exist? Does this mean that the effect of his actions ceases as well or are is it converted in to a wave that disrupts and shapes the future?

Let’s stop on the Anglo-Saxon term binge undoubtedly covers a wide range of interpretations and “symptoms”. Binge means ravishing pleasure without limits and is used to express the extravagance. The binge eating phrase usually refers to dietary intakes which is excessive and is characterized by loss of control of the quantities we eat. The object that is repeated again and again is the ice cream. Since this is her inspiration for her work: The Voices of Silence.

Lavyrinthos submerges the spectator into the illusion of the infinite through endless spaces and paths while stressing asymmetry and complexity. By addressing blurred memories and uncertain futures through repetitive compositions, the human’s unbalanced and unachieved relationship with himself and others is portrayed. The multiple dimensions bring together insights from the art of M. C. Escher, where he explores architecture, perspective, and impossible spaces. The interplay between geometry and overlaying brings the geometric abstract paintings of Piet Mondrian to life by introducing movement to his minimal compositions.

The artistic goal of the “Cosmos” video is the interactive image reconstruction through audio and real-time video production based on live electronic sounds. It is a live video recording, containing the overlay of processed images (using image’s interactive filters). The project can also be perceived as an experimental cinema / live cinema, in accordance with the tradition of audiovisual performance and VJ culture. The project’s theoretical approach is based on the aesthetics of nature’s fractals, landscapes and nature, in particular Godlovitch’s Aesthetic theories of Nature. The aesthetics of this artwork are focus in the mysterious structure of nature which is alien, aloof and distant. The art work lends its imagery to the primordial patterns of nature.
