Daniela Nedovescu and Octavian Mot, known together as mots, are two Romanian filmmakers and transdisciplinary artists who have been working together for over a decade and are currently based in Germany. They create and produce a variety of artistic projects – from multimedia installations to web series and films that reveal the irony of human behaviour.
Although most of their work consists of films and projects related to moving images, from time to time they enjoy rolling up their sleeves to create in their workshop. There they usually build machines designed to engage participants and prompt them to reflect on their own behaviour.
Recently, they have become particularly interested in using artificial intelligence as a tool in their artistic practice. They are fascinated not only by examining AI’s impact on society, but also by discovering new ways in which this still unfamiliar form of intelligence can reveal more about us as human beings.
