ABOUT

THE FUTURE IS NOT UNWRITTEN is a Smart Film about Artificial Intelligence and Transhumanism. An intelligent film which narrates and transforms itself endlessly, using machine learning and deep learning code. Implemented algorithms – used by GOOGLE to create AI – are utilized to explore the gigantic dimension of current developments.
Are we developing into „Übermenschen“, into „Super-Humans“ or are we getting rid of ourselves? Ethical categories or historical blueprints are missing: there is no case study on the abolition of mankind.

THE FUTURE IS NOT UNWRITTEN is an alternative contribution to this discourse. A narrative corridor between art and science that approaches the moral renegotiation of the human being.

The work is realized as part of the media prize scholarship of The University of Television and Film Munich and is financed by the KIRCH Foundation and Regina Hesselberger. The work is also supported by the Goethe Institut Tokyo, ARRI and funded by the City of Munich Department of Arts and Culture.
