World Brain (2015)
"World Brain" is an essayistic trans-media project by French artists Gwenola Wagon and Stéphane Degoutin. The feature film as well as the interactive website takes the visitors on a dive through the physical shoals of the internet. World Brain explores the utopian dreams and ideologies connected to the development of collective intelligence and the idea of a worldwide network. "World Brain" follows the wanderings of a group of researchers who try to survive in the forest using Wikipedia, aiming at nothing less than the creation of an alternative project securing the survival of manhood.
Directors: Stéphane Degoutin, Gwenola Wagon.
