Filmmaker Statement

Being from the Irish countryside I have been subjected to the unease of stopping at a temporary traffic light in the dead of night. All alone in the dark, bathed in red, making sure the doors are locked and contemplating what could happen. Despite this discomfort, I was also paralysed by the social obligation not to break the rules even if no one was watching. I must wait until the all-knowing traffic light tells me it’s safe, but why should I trust the traffic light over my own senses? In today’s world, we blindly trust technology, which is ironic because we use technology to lie. We lie about who we are, how we look, and how we feel every single day. So what is to say that autonomous technology can’t lie to us? It can be corrupted and manipulated not for our benefit but for our demise, and like moths to the flame, we wouldn’t know until it’s too late.
