In making the work filmmaker Antony Barkworth–Knight was preoccupied by two ideas - the threshold as a metaphor as well as a physical reality; and the impending possibility of an AI singularity, a point in time in which artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence.
“To me the singularity seems somewhat unfathomable. I don't know what it will look like or how it will change the world but it does seem once the singularity is reached we will pass through into a period of human history unlike anything that has gone before.”
