golem

http://vimeo.com/50984940

The movie is based on the short story “GOLEM XIV” of “Imaginary Magnitude” by Stanislaw Lem from 1973.
The book is written from the perspective of a military A.I. computer who obtains consciousness, moving towards personal technological singularity with growing intelligence.
It starts to refuse military support because it detects a basic lacking of internal logical consistency of war.
GOLEM gives several lectures with focus on mankind's position in the process of evolution and the possible biological and intellectual future of humanity before it ceases communication.

The movie tells about the first point of its "about man threefold" lecture as a reduced and simplified version while visually weaving this with GOLEM simulating human culture processes based on ideas and dynamics of freedom and curiosity, fear and security, abstraction and fiction, the lack of accessibility in face of unknowing and the need for generating meaning.

The whole creative intention about this project is to face your own process in this world with reflection and self responsibility, to stay curious and create, look for new ideas and stay keen.

"Hey Griffith,
thank you for this serious feedback, i really appreciate your participation.
A dogmatic approach would claim determined truth without possibility and without acceptance of critical reflection (which btw is commonly most famous from religion).
The story of this book and movie is about an imaginary artificial intelligence analyzing human basic conditions, needs and potential by reflection and review.
I cant find a computer who specifically talks about religion or wants to end all religion to rule the world by a scientific theory.
I see a computer who is actually a product based on the achievements of former cultures as part of the human development .
And this entity generated by human´s creativity, productivity and curiosity is looking back to where its coming from.
This part of the origin of culture is described as a human necessity for generating meaning and explanation for inaccessible aspects of life.

After cycles of cultural development, based on building up on the experience and knowledge of older destroyed, preserved or improved cultures GOLEM becomes just a part of this genuine human process of developing ideas for a better understanding and treating of ourselves and our environment.
Being aware of this GOLEM is virtually supporting the confidence in mankind by detaching himself to leave responsibility at us.
so our culture is the only way we can deal with our existence anyway and there are harmonic and destructive/ creative aspects contained and we are responsible for that.
Its a 6min short movie quickly approaching some wide and basic aspects of human nature and indeed its not focussed on glorifying the mighty roman law system.

f someone feels disturbed by this situation it might be because someone feels offended in his beliefs and therefore the justification of his existence. People did and do kill for that… this incapability for accepting potential relative insignificance by questioning the construct which creates meaning for someone seems like an act of stubborn defense, fear and inflexibility to me.
what for me would feel a bit inconsistent is the attempt of convincing people about any knowledge by talking about books in a shelf with read counter and argue with facts about cultural achievements you usually learn in elementary school.

The whole creative intention about this project is to face your own process in this world with reflection and self responsibility, to stay curious and create, look for new ideas and stay keen.
just some thoughts.

thanks heaps for all your comments guys"
