An original multimedia production about poverty, ethics and artificial intelligence
What if, in a world of growing AI advancements, all we needed to succeed was guidance from an all-knowing algorithm? What if Alexa or Siri could lead you to wealth beyond your imagination? Would you sell your soul if it meant you’d have clothes? A home? Groceries? What if poverty was the virus and obedience was the cure? What then would be your perspective? What would be your P.O.V.?
Through a blend of live-action scenes, interactive projections and cutting-edge sound design, POV offers a thought-provoking exploration of the boundaries people are willing to push in their quest to escape the perils of a rapidly changing world.
