Synopsis
The modern landscape of our reality is changing faster than we can grasp it and the magical future is as close as never before. Yet being in the present, here and now, seems to be further and further away.
“Scratching the Surface” is an innovative VR project that immerses viewers in the realms of analog and digital art through the eyes of acclaimed artist and illustrator Line Hoven.
This hybrid experience, combining formats of 180° documentary film and an interactive 3D-360° environment, delves into questions about life, technology and arts.
From analog hand-scratched artwork into digital simulation and branching narratives. Line’s creative process confronts us with two contrasting art worlds: one driven by AI's generated imagination, and the other deeply rooted in human memory and emotion. Both worlds reflect on the authenticity of art, as well as expression of the emotional depth. However, which will speak to us more?
“Scratching the Surface” poses key questions: What is today’s avant-garde? Can technology enhance our understanding of humanity? Will AI replace artists making a better picture of humanity than old-masters did? What will the post-human image look like?
The project is currently in development. Founded by MOIN Film Fund Hamburg Schleswig-Holstein
