Farocki and Rist

Eye/Machine was a pretty interesting movie to me. I admired the amount of patience this movie took to make. There are so many different mediums that he uses to provide an empirical idea of what progressive technology means. I think the ideas that he provides causes the audience to think further and deeper, fueled by the questions he asks in the film. It provides a fantastic background for moral, ethical theoretical and political discussion. What happens in the absence of organic direction? At what point in the development of robotics do they develop a conscience? By advancing robotic intelligence do we reach a point in the development of the robot where we've programmed it with individual choices and the ability to make choices with an informed background wherein we've made them a moral object? Why do we put humans in danger when we can just send in a robot to do what we would otherwise risk lives to do?

I Want to See How You See by Pipilotti Rist was very interesting. Very interesting. I don't quite know how I can analyze it. At all. But! My only suggestion is that her Life is a massive overlapping of many different feels, ideas, experiences, and color, as that is all I could see in the video. It was a weird movie.
