[Intro] FILMTEXT no longer tells the story of Dziga Vertov’s Man With A Movie
Camera. Instead, it tells the story of the Digital Thoughtographer, an
artificial intelligence living in the digital afterlife. The narrative is
presented as a kind of philosophical game that invites the viewer to
constantly search for new forms of meaning, and is composed as a network
of interconnected moving image sequences, experimental audio loops and
philosophical notes. These sequences are projected as a series of
Flash-induced dream-narrative events that slowly reveal how the
protagonist is using a digital video camera as a writing instrument that
simultaneously records and translates the trancelike states of mind being
experienced in realtime.
