"Imagine, we are all living inside of a cave. Unable to life our heads. To see. To feel, anything. Now watch, as we are set free." Is it technology setting us free, or are we freeing ourselves from technology? Nowadays the latter seems more important. This experimental short film titled Synthetic Pleasures is the creation of filmmaker Stuart Langfield. It was originally made as the main title film for OFFF Barcelona 2024 held earlier in April - OFFF is "global platform for the creative industry that sets the trends in design, art & post-digital culture." The short offers a different take on "the robot uprising, imagining a world in which our digital assistants like Siri and Alexa leave the confines of their devices and take some human bodies for a joyride, just to feel something, to be human for a minute." The result of this joyride is a selection of people dancing & moving in weird ways, which is fun for a minute until the little colorful bubbles head off to watch the sunset. This is a bit too abstract to really land, but I do like the visuals and locations. Check it out below.

Thanks to Vimeo Staff Picks for the tip on this one. Brief intro to this short from Vimeo: "Hey Siri, wanna take my body for a joyride?
