”In art, I leave the artificial intelligence applications to other authors and focus on emphasizing the unique and beautiful, but at the same time rough and limited competence of humans, where art looks to the day after tomorrow over the tomorrow of science. I don't aim to refine my art by enabling the latest achievements in technology, but I leave space for the viewer's own imagination, dreams and thinking.” SiskaOrveli, Film Director.
