在这个科技迅猛发展的时代，人工智能、生物工程等领域的突破不断改变着我们的生活。
机器的冰冷存在，让我们开始怀疑，在这繁华的城市中，我们是否成为了冷漠的附庸？ 身体和生命，似乎在科技的笔触下被重新定义。
然而，随着科技的进步，内心的不安和孤独也愈发凸显。 在这数字化的海洋中，个体的内心渐渐被信息过载淹没，迷失在自己的思想中。
自由、责任、意义，这些词语在科技的时代中变得越发模糊。个体开始对存在的意义进行深刻的思考。 然而，在这追逐未来的时代，个体是否真的找到了属于自己的方向？或许，科技给予我们的自由，也带来了更深的孤独。
在这个科技充斥的世界中，或许真正的自由不在于逃离，而是在于接纳我们的存在。在这无常的时光中，我们或许能够找到一种新的平衡。
科技是否真的让我们更自由？在追逐未来的同时，我们是否失去了什么？让我们思考，在这数字化的时代，我们如何找到存在的真正含义？
影片时长3分钟采用AIGC的创作方式生成实验影像画面，讲述了一个人类在虚拟数字世界中寻找自我的故事。分为三个章节迷失"'异化"归零'，分别表现主人公在科技洪流中丧失人性、异化为赛博格、最终被数据洪流吞没的过程。
影片大量采用不真实的人物形象等，制造出一种不安焦虑的情绪氛围。同时影片也运用了大量的隐喻性的视觉符号，如数据化绽放的眼睛、挣扎的双手、断裂的躯体等表达人类在后人类语境下精神困境。
In this era of rapid technological development, breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, bioengineering and other fields are constantly changing our lives.
The cold presence of the machine makes us wonder if we have become indifferent vassals in this bustling city? The body and life seem to be redefined under the brushstrokes of technology.
However, with the advancement of technology, the inner anxiety and loneliness have become more and more prominent. In this sea of digitalization, the individual's heart is gradually overwhelmed by information overload and lost in his own thoughts.
Freedom, responsibility, meaning, these words have become more and more blurred in the age of technology. The individual begins to think deeply about the meaning of existence. However, in this era of chasing the future, have individuals really found their own direction? Perhaps, the freedom that technology has given us has also brought deeper loneliness.
In this world of technology, perhaps true freedom lies not in escaping, but in accepting our existence. In this time of impermanence, we may be able to find a new balance.
Does technology really make us freer? Are we losing anything while chasing the future? Let's think, how do we find the true meaning of existence in this digital age?
The 3-minute film uses AIGC's creative method to generate experimental images, telling the story of a human being finding himself in a virtual digital world. It is divided into three chapters, "Lost" and "Alienated" to Zero", which respectively show the process of the protagonist losing his humanity in the torrent of technology, alienating into a cyborg, and finally being swallowed up by the torrent of data.
The film uses a large number of unreal characters, etc., to create an emotional atmosphere of uneasiness and anxiety. At the same time, the film also uses a large number of metaphorical visual symbols, such as data-based blooming eyes, struggling hands, and broken bodies, to express the spiritual dilemma of human beings in the post-human context.
