A documentary that explores the depths of the earth and history, for a dialogue between the primordial language of man and that of artificial intelligence
Cave of Forgotten Dreams (France, Canada, USA, Great Britain, Germany 2010, 90″) by Werner Herzog takes viewers on a tour of the cave paintings of the Chauvet Cave, the alphabet and primordial language of the human being as we still know it.
During the screening, the audience is immersed in the anthropomorphic pictograms of Resterai con me per tutta la notte by the collective Numero Cromatico. The work immediately recalls an alphabet – or perhaps a language -, which does not exist (or does not exist yet), created by a new form of artificial intelligence. An alphabet which might be meant to remain indelible and primordial on the cave walls of the Web, from where everything begins or begins again. Or perhaps not.
