Buffer Zone Blues

Franz Milec / Czech Republic / 2018 / European Premiere / 9 min.


synopsis

The almost hallucinogenic whirlwind of virtual views of potential targets of a nuclear attack in a “buffer zone” shows the viewer an unpleasant proximity of total destruction, which threatened Czechoslovakia in the 1950s. The visuality of the film, reminiscent of direction finding, was created using the data from Google Maps.

biography

Slovak multimedia artist Franz Milec (1993) focuses on generative art, using data and Python programming. He exhibits his work, inspired by the combination of technologies and the man, both in the Czech Republic and abroad.
