RE/Creative: Learn From the Past; Influence the Future

About this title

In an age of constant progress, mass production, and AI, we are often blinded by the limitless potential of techno-optimism. RE/creative follows six specialists from different fields who utilize re-creative practice in their work — an alternative approach to technological progress applying knowledge from the past to influence the future. From art to forensic science, each field employs re-creative practice differently, but the fundamental concept of re-creating remains consistent across disciplines. This documentary explores the idea by examining each field’s connection to the need for more handmade and traditional methods of understanding.
