'Autonomous' is the catch phrase of the 'artificial Intelligence' developer and computer programmer. AI, defined as technology 'able to learn by itself'. My video is referencing the rich history of experimental film and critically engages with the idea that autonomy can be programmed. In popular culture, movies or music, the question is raised and repeated: Are we still autonomous? Are we still in control? Where does the answer lead us… Unease arises; who is, if anyone, in control?

About Mica Hubertus Mick

Initially a self-taught studio artist, I created carved objects, sculpture, photography, paintings and studied graphics, video, film and other media. Currently I produce experimental video installations responding to the hype of new technology and artificial intelligence AI, defined as technology able to learn. Is being human a totally overrated, outdated concept?

Artistic influences are DaDa, Fluxus and contemporary new media artists. Technology has changed the function of still and moving Images, which are now easily manipulated to communicate Ideas. I call it Kinetic Painting.
