The Future of Reality

What counts as reality when images can be generated, manipulated, and circulated with unprecedented ease? The Future of Reality asks filmmakers and scholars to respond to a contemporary reality framed and filtered by algorithms and synthetic media. Questioning what other possibilities for reality can be found, the volume moves across nonfiction storytelling, generative and algorithmic media, sensing bodies and ecologies, and the politics of memory and a wide range of forms: essays, conversations, audiovisual works, and experimental interventions.With contributions by Ji¿í Anger, Adriano Aprà, Johannes Binotto, Silvia Cipelletti, Marine de Dardel, Donatella Della Ratta and The Void, Behrang Garakani, Devika Girish, Miguel Gomes, Chiara Grizzaffi, Veronika Hanáková, Alexandre Koberidze, Florian Krautkrämer, Evelyn Kreutzer, Occitane Lacurie, Alisa Lebow, Kevin B.
