This is a super weird video art piece I made.

If you're interested, here's some context: 
EXTINCT is a deadpan comedy sketch that takes place in the future where non digital art forms have become so rare that one art museum in the world holds all that remains. Two human cloned robots visit the museum in attempt to experience original art, but due to their purely logical brains, their obsession with selfie culture, the interference of technology, and mass commodification of art, all they walk away with is dictionary definitions, a self-referential purchase, and further detachment. The cold nature of the piece is a mirror for both the patriarchal, and “business over humanity” direction of society which continues to extend its reach beyond humane parameters. The irony of technology advancing humans is also brought to light— how much is too much; is more knowledge more power if it’s at the stake of lived experience?
