An evolution led by a bubble economy, a production line of the data annotation line veiled under a mysterious algorithm, the annotators’ body and soul is trapped under the cloud of data…Aiming to go beyond the typical focus on AI technology, this film explores a broader relationship between technology, body, labor, geography, and infrastructure, showcasing an evolution on the cloud. In a poetic narration, the film gradually brings out the individuality and everyday life of data annotators. Empty factories are the imagination of a post-human society, as well as a twisted reality under the ever-accelerating technologies. The past and the future are in a vortex, time seems to be in a vacuum.
一场伴随着泡沫推进的技术变革,在智能算法神秘面纱下的数据标注生产线,标注员身体和意识在云端数据里滞留。影片摆脱仅对AI技术性的关注,探寻更广泛的技术、身体、劳动、地理及科技基建的超链接关系,观察一场进行中的迁移“云”端演变。影片以诗意般的缓慢节奏,凝视数字生产线上劳工的群像和个体状态。空荡的办公区是对未来人工被取代后的一种虚构,同时也是当下技术演进速成速朽的真实现场,好似未来已过去,时间已真空。
