Synopsis
Through a dystopian journey in the wake of loss, SPASM explores what it means to shape an algorithm from the traces of human vulnerability. The film's visual language is partially constructed using generative artificial intelligence trained exclusively on Maja Smrekar's personal artistic archive, developed over more than two decades.

Director's statement
I question memory and identity as new generations enter a reality co-created with algorithms. By using my own archive as machine imagination, I transform artificial intelligence into a living repository of human vulnerability.
