Can we create an alternative ideology that predicts a potential collapse in the future, by shifting the center of the capitalist system to a new system with the ultimate aim of reconnecting people with each other and its natural environment?
The Flow of Convergence is a short film which attempts to pose the problem of digital information overflow and its associated issues - social, environmental, political and economic, through the exploration of an alternate future.
A potential failure of our digital model can provide a brief moment of awareness. Our dependence on the underlying model of technology is constructing a reality overloaded with information. μ m M explore a future where digital information is selected to be physically and spontaneously felt, understood and remembered; transforming the rhythm of our lives.
A future where a hybrid living organism is developed to filter the information flow. A future where data is fully integrated into the natural world, shaping a new technological landscape. A future where values, norms, and institutions shift towards a new ideology, giving space for a more genuine society of connectivity.
