No ratings yet

Set in the year 2050, ARIA 夢姬 is a CGI animated speculative short film. In the smart surveillance city of Dream Harbor, a fourth-generation female AI agent named ARIA is on the verge of obsolescence. She is the product of a state-run “Cyber Road Initiative” designed to address labor shortages and declining birth rates. Modeled after a famous late actress, she is the image of “grace and restraint” and domestic femininity. The work references Donna Haraway’s “A Cyborg Manifesto” and ideas of a post-gender future.
