Brute Force

Directed by Felix Lenz, Ganaël Dumreicher

Written by Felix Lenz, Laura Stöckler

Brute Force explores how our knowledge-making practices affect the world. Drawing on quantum theory and geology, the film exposes the intrinsic omissions, distortions, and ecological impacts of image production and data extraction. From the interference patterns of neutrons to data centres and salt lakes, the film captures how our world's complexity collides with the simplified rationalities of the digital age.
