LB1: "Breaking the Timeline - Chance & Randomness in Soft & Live Cinema" with Javi

13:30 - 16:00, large project space.

Practices such as Soft and Live Cinema explored non-linear approaches to storytelling. These practices aimed to offer alternatives to the conventions of cinema. We will trace connections between these non-linear procedures and artistic practices that make use of chance, from Dadaism to chance-operations inspired by the “I Ching”.
