Divinization

2023

With the rapid development of technology, people not only spend more time using technology products, but also rely on it more. In the future, the way to explore the world will not come from actual experience, but through the Internet, virtual devices, artificial intelligence to understand the unknown. Fewer and fewer people will be able to perceive and recognize life in everything, just as the ancestors did. Technology will become a constructor of knowledge that can dominate the world and even become people's belief. Through the divinization of AI, this work attempts to discuss how the use of technology by contemporary people has transformed from auxiliary to necessary. Based on the concept of "smoke as a bridge to communicate between people and gods" from tribal culture, the chimney is used as a medium to communicat with the "god" who builds everything.
