Viera Čákanyová’s ‘Notes From the Eremocene’ is an experimental documentary portraying a possible future where the Eremocene encapsulates the idea of a new era shaped by the human impact on the environment and the profound changes in our collective consciousness. This realm is a fictional nexus formed by a group of scientists, philosophers and artists deeply concerned with the environment, a network where scientific discoveries, world archival material, artistic expression, and the artificial intelligence that generates this possible world all meet. Čákanyová’s documentary creates a jigsaw puzzle from the consequences of uncontrolled human activities, exploring the rapid decline of the environment and the worsening of weather events. The film seeks to illustrate the urgent need to understand that we are all interconnected in this planetary change. This documentary invites the viewer to reflect on each’s own individual and collective role in shaping the future of the planet. It lays out a sense of responsibility and launches a call to action, urging us to become stewards of our planet and to build a future that also includes balance with nature. (Carmen Lascoiu)
