Golem

The movie is based on the short story “GOLEM XIV” of “imaginary magnitude” by Stanislaw Lem from 1973.The book is written from the perspective of a military A.I. computer who obtains consciousness, moving towards personal technological singularity with growing intelligence. It starts to refuse military support because it detects a basic lacking of internal logical consistency of war. GOLEM gives several lectures with focus on mankind's position in the process of evolution and the possible biological and intellectual future of humanity before he ceases communication. The movies tells about the first point of its "about man threefold" lecture as a reduced and simplified version while visually weaving this with GOLEM simulating human culture processes based on ideas and dynamics of freedom and curiosity, fear and security, abstraction and fiction, the need for meaning and the lack of inaccessibility in face of unknowing.

Josip Kelava

"As a Croatian born designer, I have lived most of my life in Australia’s design capital, Melbourne. My direction towards the design world connects with my passion for photography, my lust for typography and the thrill of creating something from nothing. When I think about Graphic Design, I feel as though it is everywhere. It is a mix of storytelling, craft, science and philosophy. The world is constantly changing and as a designer, I believe I need to adapt. Learning new techniques and stepping outside my comfort zone is how I want to grow as a designer." - Josip Kelava

Peter Gronquist sculpture

Portland based sculptor Peter Gronquist sits with "new surrealists" if speaking of labels but huge heads of bison, goats and other species, with their horns replaced with gilded weaponry and often delicately wrapped in floral ornamentation speak for themselves. Gronquist’s juxtaposition of death, nature and destruction calls forth many pertinent questions about humans’ relationship to the environment; the animal heads seems so real, yet so artificial and manipulated.
