In this seminar we are examining the moving image and the laughing body’s potential to overturn our habitual course and change the order of things. We are looking into situations in where bodies, images and sounds speak through unstable and unforeseen movements and encounters. How is this relevant today in a time with big data and algorithms? Like the sudden invasion of laughter that for a moment sets us off course, this seminar explores ways in which we communicate beyond instrumental language, subjectivity and reason, to experience what the moving image and our bodies can do and how they can teach us about the limits of our thinking.
