Hello City
Join speculative architect Liam Young and an all-seeing smart city operating system as they take a tour in a driverless taxi through a network of software systems, autonomous infrastructures, ghost architectures, anomalies, glitches, and sprites, searching for the wilds beyond the machine. Based on Young's animated short 'Where the City Can't See, shot entirely using laser scanners the film is an audio-visual expedition to a city found somewhere between the present and the predicted, the real and the imagined, stitched together from fragments of real landscapes and designed urban fictions.
Hello, City! Is a collage of clips and projects scavenged from the internet, Liam Youngs own practices Tomorrows Thoughts Today and his collaborative studio Unknown FIelds.
