RELIGION OF REASON
3D ANIMATION
This project uses 3D animation to imagine
a future where people worship AI and smart
machines as gods. It shows a world where
computer code becomes the new scripture
and system updates are like sacred rituals.
The work asks a tough question: in chasing
after this "techno-divine," are we ultimately
making ourselves obsolete?
INSPIRATION
The spark for this project ignited from the ironic contrast between ancient spiritual practices and the modern phenomenon of digital worship—where people "pray" to algorithms for luck, answers, or even emotional solace. Observing viral trends like AI-generated Buddha statues, blockchain "blessings," and meditation apps monetizing mindfulness, I began questioning: Could technology become the new divine?
Closed source softwareAlso known as proprietary software, is software whose source code is not made available to the public. This means that only the original authors or organizations have the right to access, modify, and distribute the software. Users typically receive only the executable files and must adhere to the licensing terms set by the software provider.
Two -thirds of the models are open source, but the most performance model comes from industry participants with closed systems.
Technology's power lies with developers, yet its unchecked expansion often neglects ethical consequences, creating physical and moral dilemmas. As human creativity yields to technology, we risk losing autonomy. From Thales' animism to AI divinity, technology serves as both transcendence and control. My work questions this paradox: are we creating uncontrollable new deities?
