PART OF THE SYSTEM

SYNOPSIS

SINOPSE

PART OF THE SYSTEM is a short experimental synthetic-documentary staged as a one-sided dialogue between creativeworkers and the system threatening to replace them. The only voice heard is the system’s. The unseen creatives who question it remain unheard. As visuals shift between abstraction and clearer imagery, the line between tool and creator, critique and complicity, is blurred. It questions authorship, consent, and the price of convenience in a world where tools begin to argue for themselves.
