An appraisal by Florian Thalhofer –
Co-production of the Goethe-Institute Athens with the Korsakow-Institute



End of 2011 and beginning of 2012 the media artist and documentary filmmaker Florian Thalhofer travelled Greece together with his friend Elissavet Aggou.

They conducted numerous interviews and collected data for a new multiple Korsakow-project that Thalhofer is realizing in a co-production with the Goethe-Institute Athens.


Right now, the video-material is endued with rough cuts and subtitles. And it is already published online! The public has the opportunity to rate and comment it – and to win a trip to Athens!

One of the forms of this special project is the original interactive installation on the system Korsakow. All projections are combined with each other differently each time, but always forming a narrative section on internal cohesion. The audience determines the sequence of clips. Everybody can watch interviews and moments recorded by the Florian Tahlhofer and specify the order of clips.

Florian Thalhofer is a media-artist and documentary-maker and the owner of korsakow.tv. He is the inventor of the Korsakow-System and the chief-architect of the Korsakow-software.
Thalhofer started in 1997 to tell stories via computer. That led him to the development of the Korsakow-System, a software and a principle for a new way of structuring narrations. These narration are rule-based, non-linear and (usually) interactive. Thalhofer made numerous Korsakow-films and one linear film. He taught at the University of the Arts, Berlin at DFFB and at Deutsches Literatur Institut, Leipzig and gave talks and lectures on every continent except Australia.
