György Kepes. Interthinking Art + Science (documentary film) – TRAILER (w/ ENG sub)

Canada / Hungary, 2023–2024 98 minutes György Kepes (1906–2001) was a Hungarian-American painter, photographer, designer, theorist, educator, and impresario, recognized today as a largely overlooked precursor of media art. He is widely credited with popularizing the concept of "visual culture" at Mid-Century. Kepes’ name became synonymous with the intersection of art, science, and technology, largely due to his visionary program developed in the 1960s at MIT, where he founded the Center for Advanced Visual Studies (CAVS). This institution encouraged collaborative creations between artists and scientists, fostering teamwork between humanists and natural scientists. Kepes coined the term "interthinking" to describe his innovative approach, which brought together artists and engineers to address pressing public issues like ecological awareness, augmented reality, and adaptive design—concepts that were in their nascent stages at the time. His influence extended far beyond his artistic endeavors. From his early days working alongside Bauhaus protagonists in Europe, to his significant role in the U.S. art world (Chicago, Dallas, New York, and Boston), Kepes was an "enabler," a catalyst who empowered others to pursue shared goals. As an "active humanist," he spent his life advocating for media aesthetics grounded in the democratization of images.
