Jellyfishing In America

The Crumb video I recently posted was directed by Haoyan of America, so I, naturally, had to find out more about this entity. What I found was that there's a substantial body of impressive work (including the website), including a film called Jellyfishing in America. The trailer, while largely enigmatic, sets the tone for an exploration of humanity and technology. It also contains a passage that really struck me:

"Someone once said, plants invented animals to carry them around. Well, I think, the Earth invented human beings to build machines. And those machines will be the consciousness of the Earth."

While that sounds familiar to the Technological singularity, it's phrased in a way that somehow feels more predestined.

Like I said, I was struck by the trailer. I'm hoping that the full film is available out there somewhere because I'm already hooked.
