The architectural film festival Norwegian ArchFest will be held for the second time during The Norwegian International Film Festival, from 19 – 21 August.
Norwegian ArchFest is realised by Haugesund municipality and the Norwegian Intl. Film Festival in collaboration with The Oslo School of Architecture and Design (AHO), Design and Architecture Norway (DOGA), The University of Oslo and The Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, Vikanes Bungum and Iversen Skogen.
SMART AS(S) CITY
Norwegian ArchFest 2018 will explore the relationship between man and machine, cities and technology, optimistic versus dystopic future visions, algorithms and knowledge about the human condition.
Are there limits to what machines and artificial intelligence can replace? Will human contact and touch still be as important for our social behaviour if we can custom design our very own digital friend?
Architects and city planners seek to reshape knowledge of human needs and ambition into physical form and regulation. How have digitization and artificial intelligence affected our cities, and how will this develop in the future? Will these phenomenons become more, or less humane?
