Yves Netzhammer creates multifaceted, poetic cosmos of images. His drawings, room installations, murals, and computer-generated videos confront intercultural and deeply humane questions in the age of digital media. Netzhammer persistently checks the boundaries between perception of autonomy and heteronomy, thereby creating images that have a powerful presence and focus on the hierarchy between human-beings, animals, plants, and objects. He poses questions concerning our relationship with nature and to other cultures, concerning the fear of loss of self, facing a growing mediatization and technologization of the world, permeate the surreal images of the artist’s inventions. Simultaneously, by using increasingly theatrical installations, Yves Netzhammer transposes the imaginary world of artistic animated films and computer graphics into a new kind of space.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
