This film deals with the startup eco-system in the Ruhr, the former German rust belt area, now devastated by unemployment. The local hope is that there will be a revitalization of the region through the creation of an ecosystem for startups. The film dives into the specific vocabulary and subtexts around these new economic hotspots.

And I measure deals with human-centered scientific experiments, exploring the concept of measurement when applied to ourselves. Our body parts, cleaned, fixed, connected, become an inexhaustible source of data. But why do we measure? What do we feel when we measure?
