DEEP SOUP is a participatory film: an open invitation for everyone to capture our material world on camera — not people, but solely matter, movement, and gravity. The challenge is to look at physicality with fresh eyes. What does rolling look like? How can you capture weight, friction, or balance with your camera?

Participants can upload their videos to the website deepsoup.io, where they will contribute to the training of a physical intelligence model. This evolving non-human intelligence will later present itself in DEEP SOUP the film, incorporating the participants’ contributions.

Luna Maurer and Roel Wouters are two posthumanist artists who use technology to reveal the beauty of the physical world. They celebrate materials and their behavior around us — something so fundamental that we often no longer truly see or perceive it. Collisions, breaking things and friction are essential: they weave us into the world, make us part of it, and give us the chance to feel connected.
