About the film

Three Berlin artists, who, so far, have not been particularly successful, collaborate in a group exhibition. The project is financed by a biotech company, because two scientists hope to witness an effect in art that they could not achieve in their experiments up till now. Their technology of “bio-synchronisation” should combine, according to the principle of networked computers, different people into one single being with enormously increased capabilities. With ART GIRLS, Robert Bramkamp has managed to create an impetuous mix of art satire, criticism of science and motifs from the disaster and horror film genre.
