PROJECT HERTZ
Blase is the name used by filmmaker and editor Bruno Lasevicius for his experimental work on animation, music and generative art.
In search of a space where digital and analog meet, he looks up to language as a bridge that allows both humans and computer systems
to develop and understand each other.
Binary rules were proven insufficient when faced with the uncertain nature of the analog world. Subject to failures in the process, machines occasionally behave in a mistaken, and sometimes comedic way. Translation then takes on a role of asymmetric exchange, delimiting possibilities based on compatibility. Between words and images, the Other becomes a concept that can be absorbed. Through filters and effects, analog aesthetics constitute layers that mix, add and remind the present with a certain familiarity, simulating failures that no longer occur. Meanwhile, algorithms challenge natural laws, recalculating the boundaries of reality.
Hertz intent is a reflection on the relationship between machines, images and human experience. The way we interact with each other, and how it affects our understanding of our world and ourselves.
Images, movement and adaptation. Slowly, a box full of cables becomes a folder on a server. Today, intelligence is artificial, mimicking a form of life whose limits constantly expand and contract. Different iterations develop in parallel, under our supervision. A relationship of mutual learning, in the name of evolution, survival and the unknown. Multiple and projectable beings, who share a common core, and find in language a form of containment. Through lenses and screens, man records and observes. The machine produces visual renderings, culminating in mathematical processes. Expressions of body and consciousness that come from a system, but are not limited to it.
“ The recurrent simulation in the anthroposphere can be intended as a confirmation that we - and everything we build - are nature.”
