The Future of Life
2024, video, 28:02 min
In The Future of Life, living forever appears dangerously close. An A.I can make all the right decisions for you, so you’re free to enjoy eternity. Regenerate Global, a life sciences company led by Brian, are pushing to release immortality (it’s what the investors need) – but internal politics and human emotions threaten to disrupt the launch.
The Future of Life is the next part in the ‘The Future of’ series by Lund on humanity’s relationship with A.I, following ‘The Future of Nothing’, and ‘The Future of Something’. Each film is made in close collaboration with a range of different generative AI’s. As the product of A.I technology, each work shows the rapid advancements in video and image processing.
