The increasing use of digital technologies and the gigantic amounts of data collected in the process sparked my artistic interest in the question of how we can reclaim these technologies and use them in the artistic disciplines. The starting point for digital and analog processes was the cellular automaton, which was introduced around 1940 as a universal computational model and was considered the essential basis for artificial life. In this video, I used some footage from my smartphone and combined it with a Game of life interface algorithm pattern based on the cellular automaton. On the one hand the situation of a romanticized real nature and on the other hand a digital development of artificial life contrasts and connects both worlds clearly showing the dependence.

The film traces fragments of my journey to Tirana. The camera keeps running between racking images detecting the current transformation of the city's urban environment. The construction workers seem like men falling from the sky, forming an ephemeral landmark: moving and tiny vertical elements arising from the naked facades, reminders of the human dimension.

A video-essay: Biomimicry acts as an undisputed guiding thread in many design and creation processes and creates a certain harmony between built and grown environments through its basis, consisting of the sophisticated shaping of nature. But why only imitate the forms of our living environment when we can also take the functioning of cross-global communication, which fauna and flora have refined for millions of years, as a model to transform our social coexistence into a living together and for each other?

A bridge in the city is not only a connection to the waterfront, it contains a broader definition. By observing the bridges, we can see Copenhagen's diverse lifestyle and the city's inclusive culture.

In a "Space Between", Sophia talks about her personal experiences at the "Kalvebod Waves" in Copenhagen. Between tall buildings and noisy streets, the artist makes her way to the harbour where she spent a lot of time during her Erasmus: "The harbour of Copenhagen is like the Central Park for me". Sophia originally comes from a suburb near New York. In this public space she feels a safety in numbers as a queer person. She likes to spend time alone, but also with her best friend Isa. Leah Meinhof directed, filmed and edited the short documentary. Sophia Livecchi tells her personal story.
