TEXtrucTURAS (Humanas)
The Oasis I Deserve

This selection blurs the imagined boundaries between human memory and machine intelligence. Through digitized forms of remembrance, the emotional quests of artificial intelligence, and visual compositions freed from rigid structures, the echoes of memory converge with the algorithms of the future. These films suggest that technology is not merely a tool, but also a narrator, a rememberer, and at times even a dreamer.
