The Concept

The Concept

The concept is based on the imaginary idea that life on the Earth’s surface may cease to be possible in the future due to a change in the Earths orbit that causes the planet to revolve too close to the Sun. The animation aims to pan from the lives of the poor and segregated to a view of the future government. In this new age a new government rules, made up of the eight minds that created the new way of life for humans. The architects, scientists and engineers who found a way of living with just a brain that controls its cyborg, in place of flesh. Each of their brain waves is read by a machine. The machines are connected to a super computer that controls the city via information from the 8 minds.

The animation consists of 4 parts:-

Level 1, The slums

People who did not give in to the posthuman revolution because they reject the idea of the cyborg. They want to hold on to as much of their humanistic resemblances as possible. As a result of not giving in to the revolution they are pushed below the city to fend for themselves, forgotten by the government.

Level 2, The Engineer

The Engineer is a character who like the others does not follow the rule of the government. He is just a brain on a platter read by a machine that controls everything else including a cyborg running on pneumatic pistons driven by lungs. The engineer did not give up all his human organs.

Level 3, The Skyline

This scene shows the earth’s surface as a dust cloud with the sun close by. New materials were created to build buildings to resist the heat.

Level 4, The Government

This scene shows the government made up of the 8 minds that run a super computer. The brains move around in cyborgs they control and allow interaction of the minds. This is how most people of the future look like.
