Considered technically, digital images are data sets which require special means to render them visible. One of them is windows technology as we know it from computer graphic interfaces. The processes of scaling and framing are closely linked with it. The selection of films being shown is concerned with the various artistic approaches to these technologies of framing that allow highly variable dimensioning of the digital information. Thus Siegfried A. Fruhauf nests (real) interior and exterior spaces in a complex manner while Stewart Uoo tests the permeability of spaces which he generated exclusively on the computer. Cory Arcangel (self-)experiments with the browser window as a genuine found object whereas for Aleksandra Domanović news program signature tunes become techno culture gateways to expanded perception. Hito Steyerl undertakes a demonstrative engagement with digital visibility and invisibility and finally, using one single take, Jason Dungan reveals the multi-levels- and layers that are virtually recorded in a single frame.
