"The internet is on track to becoming the biggest machine on earth, overtaking the aviation industry as the largest carbon emitter. It's infrastructure has been exponentially growing since its conception and that's come with a price. The go ahead to close the last point of connection in the UK caused the G.C.D.O.(Global Climate Defence Organisation) to commission a documentary of the last remaining worker at the site. They wanted to create a film that highlighted how our choices surrounding the internet has affected the climate crisis and led us to The Reveal. Since The Reveal, when the hyperobject became visible, the world has been shrouded by the damage we have caused. The GCDO believed this personal look into someone close to the decisions made that have assisted in causing this planetary reaction should shed some light on the seriousness of the issue and create a discussion for change.
“It seems his guilt was as real as the physical placement of the internet and the burning of the sun on the back of his neck."
In this speculative cli-fi film there was a planetary reaction that caused the world to become shadowed and we woke up inside the hyperobject. A hyperobject is something so spatially large, that although you can compute it you cannot see or touch it, they question the idea of what a 'thing' really is. What if this changed?
The technician acts as the vessel for the questions that will inevitably begin to be asked. An introspective look into the part the human race has played in allowing the internet free reign to grow all over the planet and only contemplating its true existence when it could be too late. It is a personal account of something that will affect every single person.
