"This is f**king amazing!... Judge SXSW'"
Consensus Gentium is a powerful exploration into the implications of today’s AI technology. Which transports audiences on a unique quest to discover what could come about if we succumb to unchecked surveillance.
An interactive film that simulates the experience of being on a smart phone. Participants are transported into the middle of a narrative set within the smart phone in the centre of their hands.
They are tasked to obtain increased mobility to visit their sick Nana through a government surveillance Global Citizen App.
Using various tests their dissidence or compliance is calculated, by monitoring data for their conscious and subconscious eye gaze interactions, by the devices’ front-facing camera. While various characters reflect the consequences of their decisions.
The Consensus Gentium Blog is where we share updates about the project, app and events that we attend and exhibit at.
