Here We Are
Panpsychist conceptions of consciousness inspired this video poem, which espouses an optimistic outlook for our collective future. With its catchy electronic soundscape, handwritten moving text, and kaleidoscopic artwork, Here We Are embodies notions of universal interconnectedness and rhythmic appreciation. This work was created by human hands. However, the poetic sentiments (“conscious like the algorithms”) extend beyond humanity to the ecosphere, to digital realms, and to unknown entities yet to be identified.
