‘I woke up, again. In this blue world with a flowerless sea,’ delves into the relationship between humanity and technology by exploring a dystopian future. Inspired by the philosophical perspective of technological determinism, which posits that advancements in technology shape and dictate the trajectory of society, the film presents a reality where humans no longer inhabit physical bodies. Instead, their consciousness has become integrated into the fabric of the universe, living through a shared experience within this dimension. The visual landscape, bathed in a blue palette with deliberate camera movements, creates a sense of paradoxical calm and unease. This profound transformation raises fundamental questions, reflecting upon humanity’s pursuit to find meaning in a reality forever altered.
