2025 Moving Image Award Finalists
Broken Mirror
Andrea Balestrero
Inspired by Kurt Lewin's book "The Landscape of War" and driven by the multiplication of armed conflicts that has occurred in recent years, "Broken Mirror" is an exploration on how contemporary media coverage of wars affects our perception of space and objects from an architectural and artistic perspective.
Structures of Being
Sofia Crespo
The work is the result of using neural networks trained and inferenced on the sources of inspiration in the natural world found in Casa Batllo, allowing for the animation of the buildings facade with the rich biodiversity that inspired it. Additionally complex natural simulations were used, along with data from the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre.
Membrana
Anna Giralt Gris
A post-human voice in dialogue with the future, questioning the boundaries between humanity and technology. This artwork is the pilot episode of a short online series that invites the viewer to reconsider what it means to be human in an age shaped by artificial intelligence, memory engineering, and digital consciousness.
Mojo: The Floods
Jeremy Kamal
“Mojo: The Floods” is an animated CGI short film, set in a fictional universe called Mojo. In a world where contemporary urban rituals shape natural systems, the film depicts a speculative ecology where a trap-producer controls an entire watershed through his mixing board.
SPECIMENS OF CREATIVITY - THE MUSEUM OF DEAD PROFESSIONS
Monica Menez
The creative industry is at a turning point. Professions that were once considered irreplaceable – photographers, stylists, copywriters, or models – are disappearing or changing radically. But what remains of them? And what is emerging? 20 images and a short film explore exactly
self-contained
Entangled Others
'self-contained' is the mutatation of digital images as DNA: crossbreeding, mutating, and splicing random compressed fragments, as a way of exploring encoding/decoding information as image-making. The final mutating artwork into synthesized DNA, stored in a physical capsule,
meta-landscapes
Yuko Suzuki
Color separation in traditional woodblock prints is reimagined through code and motion. Photographs of Shibuya are deconstructed into pixel flows—evoking a layered landscape where printmaking logic meets digital transformation.
Inconvenient Realities
David Sheldrick
Inconvenient Realities, part of the 'Empire' project, blends AI-generated visuals and 35mm film to explore human identity and history through whimsical yet poignant animated vignettes, challenging our perception of memory and narrative authenticity.
A Life Passed By (My Grandmother's Memories)
Ivona Tau
A Life Passed By reimagines a fading family archive through AI. Trained on re-discovered 8mm family films and damaged negatives, the work reconstructs a memoryscape shaped by dementia—where faces shift, time loops, and generative errors mirror the fragile mechanics of forgetting.
This is not your Garden
Carlos Velandia and Angélica Restrepo
Rooted in wetlands, páramos and centennial forests at the verge of disappearing, memories and a speculated future collide. 500 years of exploitation, exile and resilience are nourished by a collective pain and a desire to crack through it all.
Pixel Metabolism, Interface Ulcer
Zhongyao Wang
“Pixel Metabolism, Interface Ulcer” envisions a disembodied, screen-dominated AI future encircled by satellites: virtual imagery is compressed into a tiny pink pill that invades the flesh in reverse, dissolving the boundary between digital and biological.
Are We Gazing at the Same Moon?
Yufan Xie
This art project creates a moon-gazing ritual that re-imagines the moon as a concurrent presence across parallel realities. Experimenting with AI technologies, it questions the relationship between personal memory and collective memory by challenging the concept of “Lunar Mosaic'
SUTURA.
YZA Voku
X-ray of a dream that refuses to fade. In a suspended space —which could be a night, a thought, or an entire lifetime— 'Sutura.' is a sensorial journey through the mind of a narrator caught between wakefulness and memory. Fragments of memory. Blurred images. Emotions that precede
