The Creators of Shopping Worlds (2001) Harun Farocki

rarefilm — Thu, 28 Nov 2024 22:40:59 +0000

A look at how mall producers design malls in order to maximise traffic and sales.

The designing of shopping malls is overseen by an army of planners, managers and scientists: there are consultants, re-launch analysts, a central association, mall magazines. 6000 guests and laboratories attended an annual convention in Las Vegas at which questions were investigated as where the gaze of a customer falls and how a “spontaneous” purchase can be induced.

Farocki shows how mall producers look at malls when they want to find out, for example, how passers-by move, where they stop and where they reach for an article. He adds these images to the everyday ones – and gives them a magical charge.

Interface / Schnittstelle (1995) Harun Farocki

rarefilm — Wed, 21 Dec 2022 00:12:39 +0000

In the documentary INTERFACE media artist and director Harun Farocki examines his own media work and explores what it means to work with existing imagery rather than producing one’s own, new images. Harun Farocki was commissioned by the Lille Museum of Modern Art in France to produce a video “about his work”. His creation was an installation for two screens that was presented within the scope for the 1995 exhibition “The World of Photography”. The film INTERFACE developed out of that installation. The German title of the film is SCHNITTSTELLE and it plays on the double meaning of “Schnitt” (cut), referring both to Farocki’s workplace, the editing table, as well as the “human-machine interface”, where a person operates a computer using a keyboard and a mouse.

Indoctrination / Die Schulung (1987) Harun Farocki

rarefilm — Wed, 26 Oct 2022 23:09:23 +0000

This film is about a five-day seminar designed to teach executives how to “sell themselves” better. This course, designed for managers, teaches the basic rules of dialectics and rhetorics and provides training in body language, gesture and facial expression. The aim of selling something has always been a principle of mercantile action. Yet it was only through the marriage of psychology and modern capitalism that the idea of selling oneself was perfected.
