Dystopia is no longer tomorrow. It is here, now and today. Entropy is real and will never stop.
That’s how directing collective AB/CD/CD understood R. Brautigan’s poem when they read it, and what led them to create Server Room, an enigmatic universe where an AI tries to recreate this balance between mammals and computers.
"Today everything has changed," they say. "Global warming scares us, the harmony between nature, animals and human beings is broken, we are scared of our place in the ecological environment, we are disorientated. We are hoping technology can solve our problems, but instead it takes us away from reality and no matter what, we can’t resist."
However, the attempt to create that balance between mammals and computers only produces distortion and monsters.
AB/CD/CD are repped for commercials in the UK by Forever.
