Exstatic Truth 2025 Prague CfP
In the age of expanding powers of AI, we want to question what it means to understand, to get to know something and communicate this beyond the limited scope of human language. How do we engage in a process of getting to know, knowing ever deeper, more intimately, of making sense? How does your own (audio-visual) practice help you know something? What tools and methods do you use to get to know something? How does the process of research, the methods and tools that you use, impact the product itself, be it a film, performance or text?. What is the role of the environment you are in and the materials you engage with? And, considering the proliferation of virtual worlds, what is the role of the animated image in the development of new forms of perception? How do these particular forms of enquiry affect the answers you receive? What is the relationship to questions of “truth” – how is truth shaped by the media through which it passes, the encounters with more-than-human worlds? What is the relationship between knowing something and knowing yourself? How does your knowing transform you? How do you transform your knowing into something that can help others to know, or to be transformed? Or in other forms, how do you use your research to communicate your insights?
