Wind is actually air moving due to temperature differences in the atmosphere. Although invisible, it affects our behavior depending on how furious it is or whether it is so dry and hot, like the desert, that it drives people crazy. It is an essential phenomenon for fishermen, it helps them cross the sea and can change the course of their journeys. Next to the sea, on a winter day, I noticed that the force of the wind left the birds immobile no matter how much they tried to move , as if whispering to them to give up and let themselves go. I realized that the wind both carries and arrests, both cradles and destroys. How can you see and feel the wind?
The film is the result of a process that in 2024 will mark a decade of research by documentary filmmaker and photographer Gustavo Massola, digging up fragments of Deep Brazil in order to “show Brazil from there to Brazil from here”. There are many voices, many layers. From the inside of caves on a rainy night to the words of the Pajé. From the cave paintings of Serra da Capivara to the dirt roads of Minas Gerais. The power of so many voices went beyond photography and the photographer and documentarian became a painter, to continue giving voice and investigating layers and layers of Deep Brazil.
What happens when an image leaves a state archive and enters the feedback loops of an artificial neural network? Inspired by an encounter that the artist had at the Google Cultural Institute with an image originating from the National Gallery Singapore, Figures of History and the Grounds of Intelligence travels back in time to probe the intersecting histories of state planning, global networks and cybernetics that span from the Cold War to the ongoing boom in generative artificial intelligence. Looking into how different historical figurations have come to make up the grounds of “intelligence” that underpin today’s generative text-to-image models, the narrative focuses on what it means for these models to “learn” from history without actually understanding it in order to generate ever-changing distributions of noise. At stake here is the future of representation itself—a future where images appear to have no history to speak of.
