Working title: The Makeable World
This animation is about the change of the world that is currently taking place at a fast pace. Thanks to the actions of humans, and despite all the knowledge and science that has been built up, a world threatens to arise in which a worldwide (climate) crisis.
People think that the world is ‘makeable’ and since the 19th century the world has moved into an industrial gear in which production processes have gone faster and faster. In the 20th century, the world has changed even more radically due to commercialization and digitization. An unlivable world threatens to arise if we continue to live on this large footing. In this animation I go back to the creation of the world, in which the world still consisted entirely of water.
Maybe it’s a bit much, but I want to visualize this process through animation. Not by using obvious or clichéd images, but by giving my imagination free rein, leaving room for the viewer to form their own opinion. I want to show how crazy and absurd the world has become, where babies come out of test tubes, where everything can be controlled digitally and where robots take over human tasks and behavior, such as even care and love.
By I don’t want to impose a point of view on images and sound, but to show my vision of this crazy, absurd ‘makeable world’. A world that will hopefully return to a more organic and natural approach.
