"Hello World": A Digital Quandary and the Apotheosis of the Human

Published: 18 April 2015 Publication History

Abstract

This animated film postulates how a sentient robot might reify the concept of human as creator. The artificially intelligent narrator attributes deity status to humans, and wrestles with the consequences of an illogical god. Exaltation, condemnation, praise, belittlement, status, worth, and self-actualization are all themes in this short. The film is neither a direct criticism nor tribute to the work of practitioners. Rather, it is an examination of the dynamic exchange between the role of human and the ability of machine, for the purpose of illustrating the philosophical paradoxes related to intelligence, and theory of mind.
