The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Tok je slovenski dokumentarni film iz leta 2016 v režiji Ane Čigon, Saše Spačal in Ide Hiršenfelder, o situaciji žensk, ki delujejo v znanstveno tehničnem kontekstu in intermedijski umetnosti. Film je nastal v produkciji RTV Slovenija in Rampa Lab / Kersnikova, v koprodukciji z Iniciativo ČIPke in s podporo Ministrstva za kulturo Republike Slovenije in Mestne občine Ljubljana. V dokumentarnem osem sogovornic, ki delujejo v širokem spektru znanstvenih poklicev od umetne inteligence do programiranja in letalstva, predstavlja pogoje, v katerih so se začele zanimati za tehnološke poklice, na katere ovire so pri tem naletele in kako so se z njimi spopadle. Dokumentarec TOK [flow] predstavlja dela uspešnih žensk na omenjenih področjih in želi opolnomočiti ženske in moške, ki jih takšna in sorodna področja zanimajo. Dokumentarec problematizira pogoje za delo in delovno okolje posameznih govork ter raziskuje družbene strukture, ki ovirajo ženske pri vstopu v te poklice. Kot protiutež temu skozi pogovore in vizualne materiale iščejo izrazito pozitivne/afirmativne vidike dela, ki posameznicam nudijo moč in energijo, da vztrajajo v njim ljubih poklicih.
