SYNOPSIS — DREAMS REWIRED
DREAMS REWIRED traces the desires and anxieties of today’s hyper-connected world back more than a hundred years, when telephone, film and television were new. As revolutionary then as contemporary social media is today, early electric media sparked a fervent utopianism in the public imagination – promising total communication, the annihilation of distance, an end to war. But then, too, there were fears over the erosion of privacy, security, morality. Using rare (and often unseen) archival material from nearly 200 films to articulate the present, DREAMS REWIRED reveals a history of hopes to share, and betrayals to avoid.

polly returns
Polly Returns video 2017 While in residence at the Internet Archive, I came across Polly Gone, a 1988 computer animation by Shelley Lake (who was then the technical director of Digital Productions, a prominent 3D animation studio). In the video, a female robot -- whose severe, mechanistic design was inspired by Oskar Schlemmer's Triadic Ballet -- zips around a futuristic dome house doing various domestic chores, all while a horror movie soundtrack with synthesized beats plays in the background.

Fabian Marti
In a practice encompassing sculpture, photography, painting and socially-based projects, Fabian Marti focuses on exploring ideas about artistic production and identity. Examining visual codes, he uses recurring pictorial themes to establish an almost hieroglyphic vocabulary. Producing all of his works manually, he embraces mechanical processes that include signature traces of the artist’s hand at work. In his work, Marti reinterprets symbols and reviews the cultural history of modernity and beyond, blending a journey through time as past and present in simultaneity.
