Good Evening, SuperForest!
The following clips, put together by filmmaker Jason Silva during the making of his upcoming film Turning Into Gods, features random thoughts and reflections on all sorts of topics ranging from art, love, and beauty to techno-transcendance. Yes, techno-transcendance. And it’s more than just an awesome use of alliteration. As Jason describes it, it’s “a kind of engineered transcendence….Ecstatic mind-states and techno-immortality are promised; a world created entirely by our minds; where we all become imagineers.”
It’s a lot to take in, but after a few seconds of this video, you begin to catch on to his thoughts, his musings, and all of his reflections almost instantaneously.
It’s a little over five minutes, but it’s worth every second.
See what I mean?! At first, I thought he was a little too much. The ferocious intensity by which the video begins totally catches you off guard. But despite this, there’s something about his energy that (a) keeps you interested and is contagious in the best way possible, and (b) almost leaves you falling in love with the guy because Jason Silva is a guy who is genuinely excited about what he has to share. And when you get past the crazy hand movements and the Ashton Kutcher-esque voice and start to listen to what he has to say, you realize that all that enthusiasm just makes sense.
I’m not sure when Turning Into Gods will be released, but you can check out my post on it, here. And you can rest assured that as soon as I find out, I’ll definitely pass on the word. Because this definitely doesn’t seem like a documentary we want to miss.
Love always,
Carla
