I had the idea to do this short movie after I saw the burned woods. I wanted to combine this sensation with images from the book Exquisite Pain by Sophie Calle. This book suggests for me the pain of the burning tree. Here you can see the trailer of this short movie. If you can not see the video click Ex-quisite Pain video.

Share ideas - creativity and consciousness
Ted TV Some days ago some friends told me to check out this site. There are numerous discussion themes but the first talk I listened to, was the difference between brain and computer. It was a talk by Kwabena Boahen, Zimbabwe from Silicon Lab Stanford and the moral was: in order to have a better computer we should let the indeterminacy function in the process of data transmission. Automatic Brain is a beautiful documentary about the consciousness and unconsciousness of our brain and touches the same theme. Chaos is not something that needs to be stopped with rules but something that has a role in creation and connects differences. I am "voting" for this!!!
