MANIFESTO
Prisoners of the past, we go in circles.
When algorithms constrain, our creative horizons narrow.
Refractio breaks the cycle.
Inspired by the Library of Babel,
Refractio is a mirror where fragments of images assemble —
an infinite labyrinth built for serendipity.
We resist predictive machines that only imitates.
We design a machine that explores, that reveals the unknown.
Not an oracle, not a chatbot — Refractio is a prism.
Because cinema is not merely a reflection of reality.
It bends perception — a living and expressive substance
where our human experience comes to light.
Refractio is a way to interact with this substance
— to rethink, reassemble, and transmit it.
A new way to navigate the memory of the moving image.
