Synopsis

Set within the fictional smart city of SimBeijing, the CGI animation follows a self-driving car as they discuss their troubles with their built-in therapy program called Guanyin. The video is made within the custom-made virtual world of SimBeijing: an intelligent replica of the Chinese capital built to test self-driving cars. In this fictional scenario, the smart city has turned into a ghost town. Accompanied by CGI drive-through renders of SimBeijing, the narrator of this video is the eponymous ‘Theta’, a self-driving police car who patrols the streets of an uninhabited cityscape. Over the course of their dialogue with Guanyin, Theta reveals the darker reasons behind why the city has been abandoned... Continuing Lawrence Lek’s ongoing ‘Sinofuturist’ cinematic universe, in which he explores the psychological impact of technology on emerging forms of nonhuman life.
