Originating in 2020 as a conspiracy theory positing that online interactions were mostly made up by bots and for bots, and that the internet was almost devoid of any actual human presence, the “Dead Internet Theory“ gained a renewed attention in the wake of generative AI. So much so that some experts go as far as to predict that by 2026 half of the content posted online will indeed be generated automatically by non-human agents. Most of the images published online will soon be made by algorithms targeting other algorithms.

This focus program, curated by artist and filmmaker Nicolas Gourault, aims at investigating the politics and poetics of computer generated images in regard to documentary filmmaking. It will explore some strategies by which filmmakers contend with this growing sea of digital noise that may soon become the world we live in. The first program will focus on the social dynamics and struggles involved in the production of evidence within a world saturated by social media engagement algorithms and generative content. The second program will expend on the visual imaginary of control and fluidity embedded in computer simulation and present some attempts to hack or break this hegemonic discourse which tries to shape how we may envision the future
