THE FUTURE OF MEMORY
Consider a world where all human communications are represented by numbers, a digital world. Imagine a future archaeologist finding a DV cassette from hundreds of years ago (real found footage, full length and uncut, circa 2006). Imagine trying to decode this ancient digital object, codecs unknown, obsolete, hardware long lost.
Crack the code? A.I. algorithms scan raw data, consult-image banks, repair bitrot, reconstruct the artifact. Is the result authentic, or fiction?
Just before iPhone and Facebook, 2006, the dawn of self-by-numbers, digitized identity. What human fragments, fugitive narratives, remain? What will the algorithms decide?
ARTIFACT (circa 2006) - The archaeology of Identity.
This film can be accompanied by THE MEDIUM IS THE MESSAGE at no additional charge. Please contact us for more information.
