Survival

Human connection is the essence of life. The feeling of talking to a new friend about shared interests, expressing how much you love your partner, the touch of a mother’s hand. Real, genuine, living attachment is required for survival. This little girl, Lucy, experiences artificially intelligent machines everyday. They greet her when she walks into her favorite toy store, they cook her the food that nourishes her body; they can do everything a living human can do. Almost everything. Lucy can’t feel the warmth of a gentle hand when crossing the street or see the rise and fall of breathing lungs. One day, Lucy will feel alone but be completely surrounded. They are made to simplify everyday life, make our lives easier. But in return, there will be no life left.
