Music--Jumblefish by Duncan Pittock
Special Thanks to Liang Zhang
Technology is advancing at such a rapid pace that many people remain unaware of just how deeply it influences their daily lives. As we become increasingly dependent on digital tools and systems, there’s a growing concern: Are we in control of technology, or is it beginning to control us?
This documentary challenges conventional perspectives. Rather than focusing solely on human interpretation, it presents a view shaped by technology itself—revealing its growing influence and intent. The pauses—or blanks—in the film symbolize moments of technological "thinking" or self-upgrading, subtly illustrating how technology is not only evolving but also gradually asserting control over human behavior.
Through this film, we invite viewers to reflect on their relationship with technology. Used wisely, it can empower us. But if we become too reliant, we risk intellectual stagnation—and perhaps, a step backward in human evolution.
