Experimentalfilmessay
crash, owi mahn & christian ruchnewitz CRASH

The car is the favorite machine of modern man. The car functions as a mobile living room, transporter and fetish object. But particularly as a biotechnical extension of the human body. Such cars alias prostheses are time-shape and coloring procedures individually and - as long as they run - used, maintained, loved and adored. After its destruction, they are worthless, and not only that: The man looks after the solution from the man-machine symbiosis new - namely reduced to its original physicality.

Aggression here is understood as outward violence against an individual and as others overall dynamics in a group system.

  Excel Landscapes, Owi Mahn Pastellkompressor

Todays video compressors are using an algorithm, which is not anymore saving each frame of a movie clip, but only the changes, which come after a so called "keyframe". If this keyframe is being withdrawn from the compressor, be it on purpose or by chance, chaos is being generated.
