“A Different Goal” is Marco Joubert's first-ever foray into the realm of animation. Its images were created experimenting with Unity, a video game development software. Further elaborating and structuring the piece then took place through extensive sonic explorations. The work draws inspiration from an example given by philosopher David Chalmers, while trying to answer the following question: what would happen if intelligent machines started developing their own goals, different from those of humankind?

Deutschland, 2022 03'00" poetry film, performative stop motion animation, colour, stereo sound

A performative poetry film about what nobody will want to have seen. Childish paper dolls and tableaus, collage aesthetics juxtaposed with symbols of war, politics, and religion. Ideologies and opinions tried on as one would try on clothes.A poem hinting at the Leningrad siege. The colors of the suffragettes, Aileen Wuornos glorification, and glorious landscapes combined with Nazi uniforms. Nothing is innocent.

A body that is completely disjointed is trying to put its pieces back together. On this path, it succeeds in creating a collage of itself.

In the deep darkness of night, a solitary being stands, carrying his heart with silent determination. He is surrounded by souls thirsty for light, for goodness, beings hungry for purity. Like a sentinel of the soul, he watches with mystical grace, protecting his heart from the clutches of the corruption that lurks all around.
