The Future of Reality. Dieser Artikel ist nicht verfügbar.The Future of Reality

Everyday life without audiovisual technologies is no longer imaginable. How do we experience reality in the age of generative AI, algorithmic media, and the omnipresence of digital platforms? How does cinema―and all audiovisual media― construct, challenge and reimagine reality in times of ecological, political, and technological transformation? 

The Future of Reality gathers leading scholars, filmmakers, and artists to explore how audiovisual media shape and interrogate contemporary realities. The publication provides a platform for critical debate, innovative forms of exchange, and the audiovisual production of knowledge by featuring a diverse range of formats and modes of knowledge production. Through scholarly essays, interviews, talks and panel discussions, audiovisual essays, sound mixes, coding components, and experimental interventions the volume aims to push the boundaries of traditional academic publishing and enable a multiplicity of forms.
