OJOBOCA DE, 2014, 15'

Live performance with 16mm projectors

This is a simulation of a prototype for a “feeling machine” envisioned by Dr. D. Forme in 1917. This simulation is based on a short description and diagram found in the doctor’s notebooks. The description focuses on only one section of the machine. Brief mentions of the other sections were included, but no detailed information was discovered. Obviously, the machine was never built, yet according to the description its purpose was “to replace the faulty mechanism of human emotion”. 

Berlin based filmmakers Anja Dornieden and Juan David González Monroy have been working together under the moniker OJOBOCA since 2010. They practice Horrorism, a simulated method of inner and outer transformation.
