The technological experiments and art forms in the
video show how people anywhere can be linked by just one common factor. A variety
of people from different parts of the globe brought together by one piece of
artwork without knowing the future outcome has been made possible with
technology. Humanity in the digital age appears random and unpredictable as the
interface can change to the parameters of the people. Each individual on this
world is different in their own way allowing technology to expand to our needs.
These people who contributed did so without much of any compensation, whether
it was 2 cents or just remembering a musical icon, inferring that people care
or just get bored online. Experiments such as those in the video exist because
someone believed in them and trusted the rest of humanity to attempt to make it
work, not because they had to but because they want to.
At first, the examples used by the speaker showed
people traveling on planes throughout the day and communications going around
the world. Only identifiable by data these people are visually represented to
show how they all flow together.
Then the examples start to become personalized by
the people who create them, again showing how people can work together and
produce something in the end that is truly amazing. The drawings of sheep, $100
bill, and Johnny Cash and the recordings of people when joined together create
something that describes the original while keeping the diversity of the
submissions.
The statement the speaker makes at the end of the
video is meant to inspire those who use technology to express themselves
because that is the medium in which culture is said to be defined in. Everyone
is different and can be shown by the difference between each art form when put
together as a whole.
