“
Qubit and the Cognitive Distortion” by Andre Lopes
* Selected to screen at MachinExpo 2011
* 4th Place at the UWA IV (University of Western Australia fourth edition of the “the art of the Artists”)
* 3rd place on Open This End Award of excellence in Film Direction facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2384432611087&set=o.406859367432
The real inspiration so as this idea came from the elaborate synthesis of many poems I wrote “1986” (poems in desk drawers). Qubit is nothing more than the character of this deep cognitive distortion. This work is included in the Challenge of the University of Western Australia in Second Life for the IV Edition, as well as 3D works displayed in this composition, as they are mentioned on the description / credits.

‘Push’ by Lainy Voom
This film is a little bit of an experiment - what would happen if I gave myself 1 week to film, $50 and made the very first thing that popped into my head, no matter how ridiculous the idea, trying to go with the flow, being productive rather than procrastinating, and not over thinking anything (having previously felt constrained through creating a poem in a very strict style, this was a way of trying to clear out the cobwebs).
The result is difficult to explain and quite stream of conscioussness like. It loosely represents how humans are tied to the mechanics of time. We can relive the past through memories, or imagine the future, but our physical bodies cannot stop being a part of the process of time, evolutionary time etc
