Digital Reel: Creative Computing Film Screenings

Join us for an evening of short films where cinema meets code. Digital Reel presents eight works created with creative computing technologies.

Screened together for one night only, the programme offers a rare chance to experience how filmmakers and artists are using computation not just as a tool, but as a medium in its own right.

Adam Cole & Gregor Petrikovič

Adam Cole delves into the complexities of intimacy and identity in the age of AI, crafting immersive works that explore desire in the shadow of artificial representation. He integrates advanced AI-technologies, film, and installation to challenge the normative fantasies embedded in AI networks, seeking more diverse, poetic, and sensual alternatives. He is currently based at the Creative Computing Institute, University of the Arts London, as a lecturer and doctoral candidate Cole’s work has been exhibited worldwide at prominent galleries, film festivals, and media arts conferences, including Tate Britain, SXSW Film Festival, Sheffield DocFest, Sonar+D Barcelona, Le Lieu Unique, and SIGGRAPH Arts. His installations have been recognized by multiple prestigious awards—including the Lumen Prize, Aesthetica Art Prize, and Asia Digital Art Award and the XR Audience Award at SXSW 2024.

Gregor Petrikovič is a Slovak-British artist working with film and movement. His work explores human connection and alienation in the era of digital disconnect, often drawing inspiration from his background in philosophy, photography, and movement. He completed an MA in Photography at the Royal College of Art as a Burberry Design Scholar. His films have been exhibited internationally, including IDFA, Tate Britain, Sónar Barcelona, the Athens Digital Arts Festival, and The Swiss Archive of the Performing Arts. He recently completed a residency at the ISCP in New York and is developing new work through Film London’s FLAMIN Fellowship.

Andrea Mikyska

Andrea Mikyska received her master's degree in Supermedia from the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague. Her artistic projects explores speculative futures and their effects on technology, ecology, and culture by delving into computer simulations. She examines the relationships between human-made technologies and environmental ecosystems using mainly 3D, 2D and AI programs, igniting discussion on pressing ecological and Post-internet challenges.

Chris Tegho & Jazmin Morris

Chris Tegho is a multidisciplinary artist, and machine learning engineer from Lebanon and the UK. They work with movement, code, 3D modeling, and material, and they are interested in raw emotion and play. They explore how technology shapes identity and perception, and they use play to connect, experiment and expand our perspectives. Their practice is driven by questions of queer belonging and a need to build ecosystems that hold multiplicity and difference.

Jazmin Morris is a Creative Computing Artist and Educator based in Leeds. Her practice and pedagogy consider the historical trajectories of modern technology and critically speculate on the landscape of human-computer interaction. Using free and open-source tools, Jazmin crafts participatory digital works that challenge power dynamics and hierarchies within cyberspace, with a particular emphasis on the processes of simulating culture and identity. Despite her critical approach, Jazmin appreciates the early days of the internet and is a huge fan of the classic gaming icon, Super Mario 64.

collectif_fact (Annelore Schneider and Claude Piguet)

collectif_fact, founded by Annelore Schneider and Claude Piguet, explores contemporary image economies through video, using speculative narratives and fiction. Their work has been exhibited internationally at institutions including the Maison Européenne de la Photographie (Paris), Centre d’Art Contemporain (Geneva), Centre Culturel Suisse (Paris), Hiroshima Museum of Contemporary Art, Lianzhou Foto Festival, Metropolis Art Centre (Beijing), and Fotomuseum Winterthur. They were recently awarded the Landis & Gyr Residency in London, the New Point of View Award from This is Short (European Short Film Network), and Best Short Film at the International Festival of Films on Art (FIFA). They are represented by Wilde Gallery, Geneva. www.collectif-fact.ch

Fá Maria

Fá Maria (also known as HAUT) is a Berlin-based composer and artist working across experimental pop, audiovisual installation, and research. With a background in psychiatry, their practice explores the intersections of voice, identity, and technology, focusing on how AI and sound can reconfigure notions of the human body and self. Their work has been presented at institutions and venues such as Tate Modern (2025), KCUA Gallery Kyoto (2024), Batalha Cinema Porto (2024), TEA Tenerife (2023), the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation (2022), the Venice Biennale (2022), and HAU Berlin (2020, among others.

Jerickson Magsino

Jerickson Magsino is a multidisciplinary graphic designer and a recent graduate from Kingston University. His practice explores the intersection of design, emerging technologies, and pressing social themes; working across UX, editorial, motion, and 3D to craft outcomes that question, communicate, and connect.Guided by the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals, Jerickson is committed to creating work that is not only visually engaging but also socially conscious and inclusive. Compelled by curiosity and experimentation, he approaches each project as an opportunity to explore new methods, challenge conventions, and deepen the dialogue between form, function, and meaning.

Nabarun Gogoi

Nabarun Gogoi is an artist from India, based in Lausanne, Switzerland. He graduated with a Master in Photography from École cantonale d’art de Lausanne (ECAL) in 2025. Owing to the pursuit of a career in software development prior to his education in Art, he uses his acquired technological competencies to create media art pieces that merge the boundaries of classical photography with newer dimensions of image-making, such as computer-generated imagery (C.G.I) and generative artificial intelligence (Gen A.I).

Natalie Maximova

Natalie Maximova is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher. Lives and works in London, UK. Her work interrogates the shifting thresholds of meaning that emerge at the intersection of digital aesthetics, liminal spaces, and speculative narratives. Engaging with video game environments and harnessing the transformative potential of game engines, her practice explores the inherent instability of constructed meanings and how technology reconfigures identity, memory, and perception in our post-digital era.
