We are delighted to host a screening of this film by Sasha Litvintseva and Beny Wagner in conjunction with Filmhuis Den Haag. The screening will be followed by a discussion and Q&A moderated by filmmaker and researcher Bo Wang.

We are delighted to invite you to join us for the final event of artist-researcher Inas Halabi’s residency. The two-month residency was a collaboration between ReCNTR and 1646. During this final event Inas will share aspects from her ongoing research and work for her film The Right of Return.

Household robots rely on computer vision to navigate their environment, but a camera does not know what it is looking at. In order to recognise and understand the spaces and objects it encounters, a robot’s vision technology needs to learn about its future home. To this end, large datasets of 3D files are assembled into model homes, which ultimately are unable to represent the complexity of life itself….This talk speaks of the absurd and precarious state of the training datasets of home robots, using them as a way of entering a wider discussion about cohabitation with technology and an obsession of sorting the world into categories.

Join us for a screening of Evangelia Kranioti’s film Obscuro Barroco, for our first collaboration with the Netherlands Film Academy...
