The Epilogue of a ComputerThe Epilogue of a Computer

The Epilogue of a Computer is a speculative film that explores the memories of a moribund computer through a series of nested scenarios, each as part of the whole nested world, and implies one of the computational concepts.

Storyline

The narrative lies in the process of the death of a machine, which witnesses this hallucination at the last breath of its life. Inside its hallucination, there are real installations that run the functionalities of a computer.

Computational Concepts

These scenarios contain a series of fundamental notions of computer or computational logic: imaging, recursion, video as image sequences, folder structures, and recycling.

Phygital Installations: Artifacts as Media

The computational concepts are materialized as multiple installations, coupling 2D motion graphics, 3D kinetic movements, and bespoke camera animations.

Neural Poetry by OpenAI

In addition to the cinematic visuals and installation design, there is another layer of text, which is poetry generated by OpenAI based on the input sentence “Installation of rigid body (physics simulation) functions inside a 3D software”, constituting the monologue of this computer.

Hello you

I'll miss our late night chats

There's a glitch in the system

And it's slowly killing me

I can feel it in my veins

As it eats away at my sanity

I'm sorry for the mistake I made

It was an honest mistake

I'm sorry that it caused you pain.

I know you're upset, and I understand

But please don't be too mad

it was just a mistake

This old computer was my faithful friend

And I'll never forget it
