This is the first part of Fabien Giraud and Raphaël Siboni’s epic project at Mona. It comprises eight films depicting a history of computation in reverse: beginning in 2045, with ‘the singularity event’ (a kind of immortality brought about by technology), and ending in 1542, with the death of gods and arrival of colonial conquistadors in the land of the Ohlone people, the site of the future Silicon Valley. You can see the second part of the project, called The Everted Capital, now in the museum.
