/George Perec’s radio play Die Maschine (1968) is about a computer that analyzes Goethe’s poem “Wanderers Nachtlied”. The poem only covers 8 lines and no more than 24 words (in German). In the play the poem is not studied artistically but is systematically analysed by a computer in an attempt to reveal the inner mechanism of poetry. The film visually plays with the irony of the analysis and with the soul of the poem and is a modern ode to Perec's play. Digitisation does not unravel truth, it makes the magic of reality greater. And no matter how rational and analytical you want to act, beauty and death remain deep and raw emotions.
