Expeditio

30-minute animation film describing the virtual journey of a spaceship to the human mind in seven episodes as an expedition report. The spaceship is equipped with all kinds of appliances for observation such as various special cameras, microphones, sensors, x-ray units, etc. By these means the spaceship is not only able to perceive but also to analyze and archive its perception. It is thus able to describe abstract space adventures in a ‘scientific-poetic’ way. Today’s common method to represent and prove facts with the help of virtual models is therefore being raised into something fantastic. The language used is both scientific and poetic, like the former reports of expeditions. The end is very surprising and gives two short hints that the film is a reminiscence of Jules Verne and Adalbert Stifter.
This pseudo sci-fi story is presented in the special context of the urban screen located in the Rotterdam subway station Blaak (in collaboration with City Media Corp.). English translation by Andrea Lutz.
