Will an Artificial Intelligence ever be capable of creating a genuine, original work of art? Some would argue that, while AI systems have become exponentially better at imitating all human forms of expression, creating art requires a soul. But what is that soul? Is it really in the work of art? Or is it in the meaning that we as viewers automatically ascribe to it?

"The quarantine of 2020 was a big surprise for everyone. Milena, a film student is locked in her parents' house. She is not allowed to travel, so she is forced to spend the quarantine and the Easter holidays alone. The situation with the corona virus makes her feel alone and imprisoned, while her dreams, goals and life are postponed along with the end of the lock down, so she chooses to spend her time, continuing her life inside a video game, while time around her he passes, without her. It is a documentary-self-portrait that has characteristics of a quarantine diary. In the film we see Milena learning to cook, continuing her distance learning and the resurrection from her balcony. The two realities: that of the game and the quarantine get confused and one seems more real than the other. "

The piano is an instrument without which it is impossible to imagine the musical world. But how did it first make its way from Western civilization to areas where it was traditionally unavailable, and what were the consequences? In her short film poem, the author becomes an archaeologist of sorts through evocative images of the piano amidst natural scenery and questions about the Korean adoption of the chamber note A, which is a tuning standard in music, as she uncovers historical, social, and cultural layers in relation to sound.
