5. Matrjoschka
5,700 minutes (98 miles of film)
Matrjoschka is number 5 on our list of the longest most meaningless movies in the world. German artist Karin Hoerler created this epic piece of glitch art in 2006 using a single photo that she manipulated and distorted over a huge length of time. Glitch art is an intentional distortion of digital files by either tinkering with the data or altering the hardware that processes the data. The film was shown outdoors on an enormous LED screen with nightly breaks. Hoerler describes herself as a cryptographic artist and the visual noise in her work as an encoded visual message. The title Matrjoschka, meaning nesting doll, might refer to this layered revealing of her intention.
