Simulated citizens, cybernetic surgeons, and technologically-confused anatomies: these are the new residents of an increasingly automated, scanned, and digitized world. The films in this program race along the criss-crossing wires of our electronically-ersatz hyperpresent, from an Edenic garden swarming with generative textures, to the a place beneath the spotlights of the modeling world, where a full-body-scanned likeness offers an ambivalent escape from whirlwind shoots and constant travel. Elsewhere, in the near future, medical robotics seize a free moment to break for a game of chess.
