This animation film is part of the “The Ability to Perceive Walls (Niemandsland)” Project.
I created an perceptive agent and this film narrates the story of its genesis.
Watch the full film above. A short animation film about borders drawn to evoke behaviour.
We never see the world as it is, as a mere fact, but we shape sensual data into meaning by subjective patterns.
We touch, see and learn how the world is to be seen.
The development of perceptive patterns gives this film, Open Water, its dramatic structure. Along this we arrange, layer, combine, contrast several topics: nature versus human condition, surveillance by the means of artificial intelligence and the crisis in the Mediterranean sea.
“Who owns which space and how is the claim to power or ownership over it asserted?
Space and its influence on movement patterns ultimately becomes the protagonist of Georg Eckmayr's animated film Open Water [...]. This work interweaves behaviourism, territorial power, cartography, coding and demarcation. By linking individual behaviour with perception algorithms, Eckmayr exposes systems of repetition as the foundation for the recognition of barriers, even if the boundaries have already been lifted. He confronts the viewer with the question of whether we are still capable of questioning our behavioural patterns and breaking through imposed boundaries.“
