- In the documentary INTERFACE media artist and director Harun Farocki examines his own media work and explores what it means to work with existing imagery rather than producing one's own, new images. Harun Farocki was commissioned by the Lille Museum of Modern Art in France to produce a video "about his work". His creation was an installation for two screens that was presented within the scope for the 1995 exhibition "The World of Photography". The film INTERFACE developed out of that installation. The German title of the film is SCHNITTSTELLE and it plays on the double meaning of "Schnitt" (cut), referring both to Farocki's workplace, the editing table, as well as the "human-machine interface", where a person operates a computer using a keyboard and a mouse.
