Description: An AI tells a story about the earth to a human audience. Written with ChatGPT, and using the logical and categorizing framework of AI systems, the film investigates the discourse around the non-human world via the vast data bank of the AI. Uncanny Earth explores questions around non-human agency, extractive histories, and storytelling about the earth in order to paint a portrait of the strange and inconsistent relationships, stories, and ideas we have about the earth we live on. This is set against the AI itself, which poses so many questions around sentience, being, and autonomy. Uncanny Earth transposes this discourse to the non-human world.
