The film is voiced by an anonymous group of ‘hybrid’ machines, from some point in the near future, who look at humans and animals as inefficient machines and consider ways of editing and improving their code. Whilst the work appears to be a piece of science fiction all of the technologies and ideas discussed are based on actual advances and research and real visions of how things might materialise in the future including the concepts of DNA and biological computing and the recent technology for gene editing known as CRISPR.
A film by Charlie Tweed, in collaboration with Dr Darren Logan. Commissioned by Animate Projects and supported by the Wellcome Trust.
