“Mother Arkah” is a short animated film exploring a speculative climate apocalypse scenario and the hypothesis of the posthumanist ideology of “bio-technoism.” The project investigates concepts of prohibiting the “religion of growth,” future power structures shaped within the “posthuman convergence,” AI-driven symbiogenetic evolution, and autopoietic architectures. The film serves as an allegory on the mechanisms behind political belief systems, while posing questions about how deep the “urge for innovation” is rooted within us humans and, consequently, how much humanness our planet can take.
