Year: 2012
Client: FIELD.io (Energy Flow project)
Location: Berlin, Germany
Technology: Non-linear 3D animation with music by David Kamp

Skynet is a non-linear 3D animation by Studio A N F, delivered in 2012 as part of the FIELD.io "Energy Flow" project curated by FIELD, with sound and music by David Kamp. The animation stages a global networked consciousness perceiving the world simultaneously from satellite view to microscopic scale, communicating with itself in real time. It is a collaboration between Studio A N F and FIELD.io.

Skynet is a non linear animation about a global networked consciousness. It plays with the idea how a single entity could the perceive the world - from a satellite to a microscopic view. Full sensory awareness encompassing the entire world is rolled into one artificial organism communicating with itself in realtime.
