The Electric Kiss
The Electric Kiss
What once may have seemed novel, even quaint, about the algorithmically-generated video work of Rainer Kohlberger, today—in an age of augmented reality, automated image production, and user-friendly artificial intelligence—seems startling prescient. It makes a certain sense, then, that with The Electric Kiss, Kohlberger would attempt to grapple with our current era by going back to the future. In Kohlberger’s second film that could be considered narrative driven, the artist fashions a dystopian fiction from the remnants of cinema’s past.
