Future Is Not What It Used To Be
Mika Taanila Tulevaisuus ei ole entisensä, FI, 2002, 52', 35 mm
A film about Erkki Kurenniemi (1941-2017), whose career represents a natural blend of music, film, computers, robotics, science and art. Kurenniemi’s story is a fascinating and forceful depiction of a forgotten visionary. Throughout the years he has constantly sought for new kind of user interfaces for musical instruments and semiautomatic music generation. The film revolves around Kurenniemi's task of collecting everything. Kurenniemi records his thoughts, observations, objects and most trivial images constantly, with manic precision, with the ultimate goal of reconstructing the human soul – merging man and machine.
