Into the Magnetic Fields

What waves and signals run through the hybrid landscapes between agricultural use and fallow land? Who passes through the atmosphere—all the way up to outer space? We see remote-controlled machines working the countryside, migratory birds flying over fields, robots imitating human movements. What will the relationship between nature and culture look like in the future? Sandra Schäfer’s most recent film Into the Magnetic Fields questions post-human modes of production. The soundtrack is formed by generated voices that quote feminist science fiction author Ursula K. Le Guin, theorist Mark Fisher, artist Lygia Clark, and interviews with foresters and bird researchers, combined with music by Dominik Eulberg, Manuela Schininà, Maya Shenfeld, and Tim Tetzner.
