Two freerunners move through the city, their bodies distorted, doubled, trapped in a glitch. Movements fade, faces disappear, the world falls apart. Ghost in the Machine reveals how technology not only records but also distorts reality. An algorithm tries to organise time but causes chaos: fragments shift, moments warp. The negative colouring intensifies the alienation – light becomes shadow, contours fade. There is no decisive moment, only an image in which time can no longer be captured. Korfmann reflects on the influence of technology on our perception of space and time. The city is reimagined, disorganised, thrown out of balance. What does it mean to experience public space as fluid, layered? How do algorithms shape our understanding of ‘reality’? In this work, the disruption itself serves as an answer: what happens when the “machine” fails? Embracing failure, the glitch as potential, becomes the key to a critique of normative systems.
