Synopsis
Martin Hans Schmitt’s almost secret history of robots creates an unusual film, a sort of radical experiment that’s consistent with several of the featured scientific. A virtuous found footage made with diverse and almost always unknown materials, it’s an experimental documentary that follows the trace of 20th century robot development, and doesn’t have a single guiding word. Rather than focusing on a verbal lesson the film argues for an audiovisual language, like the one produced by another robot: the film and video camera. As if it were a dialog between machines, Schmitt finds some exceptional cores in robotic life, from mechanic soccer players to automatic drawing artists, including electronic toys and machines that clone animal moves. And in this sensorial immersion into the robot world –sustained by neoclassic violinist Matt Howden– intelligence and artificial sensibility are not only possible: they also define modernity’s virtues and mistakes.
