Films without people
The AI is being forged in Hallein
A feature film, completely without people. Neither in front of nor behind the camera. As part of the "Schmiede24" art festival, artists show just how far technology can go these days.
The artists work with us free from pressure and deadlines. We see ourselves as a place to network, create and present," says Rüdiger Wassibauer, organizer of Schmiede24. The art and culture festival on Pernerinsel attracts around 150 artists from all over the world to Hallein every year. For ten days, they work on a wide variety of projects in the saline town. On Friday, these are presented in the large exhibition.
From performances and visual art to scientific research work, the range is broad. One topic is occupying several creative minds this year: artificial intelligence (AI). Filmmaker Stephanie Meisl first came into contact with AI in 2018. Her interest has remained to this day.
She now creates entire films without any human involvement: "You don't need to go out shooting these days. The computer does it all by itself," explains Meisl. As tempting as the whole thing sounds, she still sees a lot of need for education. "Well-prepared fake news can be dangerous, especially on social media. Because you can no longer distinguish them from reality."
Mascha Beuthel from Salzburg University of Applied Sciences is also researching AI with students as part of the Schmiede. "Artificial intelligence can serve us primarily as a tool. Provided you know how to use it," says Beuthel.ET
