The relationships change in a house while the wifi is disconnected.

The film addresses the issues around the lack of public trash bins around the central parts of the city. Already existing general irresponsibility of the citizens and the institutions with waste management gets worse when people need help finding trash bins in public spaces to dispose of their own trash. The situation leaves many parts of the city with open trash in the streets. Although it is cleaned regularly, still the inconvenience is real when one feels responsible and is in need of a bin to dispose of the trash.

The short movie 'Humansize the city' catches a glimpse of the profane experience of a person within the city frame. Even so, it refers to the spirituality hidden underneath the surface. It perceives the city inhabitant as a human being whose life consists of the performance of everyday human acts rather than the grandiosity of celebration festivals. Each human movement or gesture embodies a ritualistic nature and seeks a place to be expressed or manifested within the urban environment. The film questions how even underlooked architectural and urban spaces give meaning to a person in his everyday struggle in search of it.

Attention economy is the largest and most disruptive innovation in both the information and in marketing. Smart homes are ubiquitous, connected devices that enable people to monitor, and that which is exploited by a large number of people. Attention economy is, therefore, revealed in the transformation of the public sphere into a panorama of relationships of things, of affects, of intentions. The singular constellation of social relations is the ‘state of Things’. It is also, in a way, a mode of production, which throws light on and gives expression to the intensities of this social process and appears in it a kind of objectivity and a mode of definition so that the political process may more appropriately be regarded as a kind of activity. A space is thus less a specific place or a general archetype of entities, and more a particular constellation of relations and a particular object. A space is thus, one in which, what is stored in the ‘actual’ is also what can be transformed into a modulating effect of that, and the inclusivity of the non-human perspective, be it nature or machine.

Evolved as an audiovisual collaboration, ‘Spectre’ is an artistic depiction of megalopolis tension on an individual. A reflection on urbanization and overpopulation in hyperbolized scale. A ghost of the foreseeable future questioning a significance of one’s role in the giant mechanism. Shot mostly in Kyiv, Ukraine.

Baku is an industrial oil city and the country's primary export - oil and gas is sucked off from the Caspian Sea which has a significant contribution to the city's identity, infrastructure, design, and culture as well as its economy. The oil industry has been expanding and shaping the destiny of Baku for almost more than 5 decades now and without it, neither the city could be the way it is now, nor the country. The industry brings major challenges to the city during resource-demanding oil production by emitting alarming levels of greenhouse gases, polluting air and water bodies, degrading land, and mismanaging toxic oil waste. As a result of it, the Caspian Sea is highly polluted, and most coastal areas of the sea even have a hazardous level of toxicity for swimming. On top of everything, most citizens are very irresponsible with their trash around the coast and it adds up to the catastrophic pollution of the Caspian. The city’s major identity comes from the Caspian Sea, however, it is heartbreaking to see the trash and oil leakage pounding the shores of the 16 KM long Baku Boulevard when you walk along it. Due to the mismanagement of waste and lack of public awareness the shores are getting dirtier every other day and it is becoming impossible to find a clean spot to swim in the summer to survive the heat waves. Also, the privatization of the beaches is another challenge, and access to clean shores is becoming more and more commercialized and expensive to enter. Thus, access to swimming is becoming very exclusive for the working class and many had to bear the smell, inconvenience, and ugliness of public beaches.

Reinventing inclusive design through the use of cardboard. A material usually employed as container, now it can be a doormat or a table. Through examples of re-use, cardboard becomes a symbol and gives a new understanding of inclusive design: creativity, accessibility and recycling may be pillars for a new (social) inclusion within modern design and architecture.

The film addresses the struggles of queer artists due to the ongoing oppression and phobia against LGBTI+ youth. The situation in the country leaves many with mental health problems and generally adds up to the lack of motivation that has been there due to the lack of financial and moral resources. Increasing hate crimes against the community threaten many young people and shrinking public safe spaces leave LGBTI+s behind. The film is a self-protest against the ongoing situation and addresses the poor realities of the country regarding queers.

Parking is one of the significant city planning problems of Baku. The neighborhoods with high buildings usually lack parking lots and the cars pile up in the backyard of the residence buildings. Children in the neighborhood reclaim the streets! They want to play one more round of soccer, but the already existing limited and shrinking space for a playground is taken away by the cars coming in and out of the yard. Also, children playing in the “playground” of the residential buildings put parked vehicles in danger, and many incidents usually occur. You could see a grumpy person taking their head off of the window and shouting “go play your soccer somewhere else”. City design and the built environment around the residential neighborhoods should take everyone’s needs into account. Including kids who love to play games in the backyard of their apartments…

Metropolis is often used as a broad term, and sometimes boring. Perhaps we have neglected that the build-up of a bona fide city is always gradual, progressive and partial. The fact that it is indeed more intriguing can always be found in the inconspicuous corners, and in each corner there resides a bunch of hidden stories vividly shining concurrently. In Hong Kong, the outlying islands are the hidden gems. Many of us cannot even imagine how resilient and inclusive this city is until we see the living evidence. It may surprise some if we take some daily snapshots at the same time, the diverse timelines are manifested - fIshermen, jossmen, villagers, artists, swimmers, hawkers, and visitors… their journeys being also the crucial parts of the city coexisting with the traders and bankers sitting inside the skyscrapers. If we spread those moments on live, we then have a series of overlapping histories in pixelated form being a rich and flavorful color palette that composes the pearl of the Orient. This video aims to capture the metropolitan cinematics in different interpretations to retrieve the hidden historical scatters from the unique stories and cultural legacy behind the often-forgotten islands - that to have witnessed our once significant transformation from a fisherman village to the international city. By cutting from an angle of the current lifestyle alternatives we aspire to impress the audience by showcasing the contrast to our usual understanding of a “metropolis” and “socio-economic development need”. The visual narratives on the living habits, interactions, struggles and growth of the people around passively respond to how we chose to battle with the “prescribed” ways of living then in turn reminiscing us about the genuine comprehensive story of Hong Kong.
