This short film imagines life on the other side of all our A.I. queries. After a long day of answering thousands of human questions, would an A.I answer-bot be able to shake the work day off or is the hunt for answers just beginning? In this oddball robot adventure, I toy with religion in the age of algorithms, love in the age of synthetic companions, and the ambitions of the giants who built it all.
There are concepts here that don’t get fully explained. Electric Beavers, for instance are the barrage of light, noise, and information that makes it nearly impossible to pluck out anything meaningful from the distraction. To Tula the robot, they’re the voices, glowing screens and constant noise gnawing at her sanity. Strings of light represent the forged connection between human and bot that gets fired off when the human hits 'enter' on their query. The string of light is the dopamine hit a person or machine needs to feel special, to feel alive. We need answers. We need love. We need to be seen. And all it takes is firing off a single string of light to the machine. Even if the hit only lasts a moment.
