POSTCARDS FROM NOWHERE

„The images originate from a place where memory is the only landscape, and silence is the last witness.”

Postcards from Nowhere is a posthumanist manifesto born from the tension between human memory and algorithmic imagination. The film intertwines personal photographs with AI-generated imagery, creating a narrative where organic experience and machine vision merge into one.

DIGITAL ALCHEMY

Each frame undergoes technological transmutation: personal photos filtered through algorithms that not only interpret but rewrite reality. AI becomes a co-author – animating memories and giving them unforeseen yet deceptively real forms. The result is a third reality, belonging neither to human nor machine.

The creative process resembles an archaeology of the future: memories are unearthed and reshaped into visions that transcend the artist’s original intention. AI adds its own „memories” – synthetic images as compelling in their authenticity as documentary photographs.

AESTHETICS OF ENTROPY

Characteristic grain and analog distortions reveal the points where the human eye meets the algorithm. Black and white becomes the universal language of decay, while AI-generated animations introduce movements and transformations the artist never anticipated. The montage follows the logic of dream and nightmare, dissolving boundaries between reality and VR simulation and opening a liminal space suspended between both.

TECHNOGNOSTIC BESTIARY

Figures in gas masks and biological implants become self-portraits of the creative process – metaphors of human-technology symbiosis. Each mask signals transition, each implant marks the trace of hybrid transformation. Processions in monastic habits become rituals of passage: marches into nothingness and at the same time, the birth of new forms of consciousness.

MANIFESTO OF CO-AUTHORSHIP

The film raises questions without answers: • Does the artist remain human when algorithms realize their vision? • Does AI remain a tool if it creates beyond human intention?
• Where does memory end and synthetic imagination begin?

These are postcards from a future co-created with machines – fragments of a shared apocalyptic imagination, as beautiful as they are terrifying. The film becomes a record of consciousness learning to exist beyond the boundaries of singular authorship, in a space where human and machine forge new meanings from the ruins of the old world.
