Caprizaen draws on the tradition of animal fables by the Grimm Brothers and Aesop to explore moral conflict, self-perception, and social pressure. The short film challenges romanticized images of rural life, revealing tensions that emerge where technology, land use, and local communities intersect. Shot as a dystopian mockumentary on the Greek island of Samothraki, where goats outnumber humans, the film weaves together internet metaphors, conspiracy narratives, and themes of human urban flight. A robotic goat equipped with an image-to-speech generator captures the footage and produces accompanying descriptions, while a drone disguised as a dove observes from above. Acting as a hybrid mediator between species and systems, the robotic goat becomes both witness and rural influencer.
Tintin Patrone is a German-Filipino sound and performance artist. Her work explores collective musical practices, embodiment, and the relationship between humans and technological systems. She is particularly interested in the human conditions of technology: how machines are shaped by social contexts, how they influence behaviour, and how new forms of dependency, intimacy, and collaboration emerge through artistic and performative experimentation.
