Abstract
It is ironic that the evolutionary struggle to control the intrinsic chaos of the universe is slowly leading humanity into their own chaotic demise as a species. The past four hundred years have brought up remarkable changes. Humans have found themselves in a rare pocket that is pushing upstream against the tide of entropy, and quickly losing sense of the dangers they and the societies are causing. "Human Era," part research and part virtual experience, combine to take the user on an experience outside of the "system" in order to look from the outside in. Critically inspecting the twentieth-first century and the future of the planet. Inspired by Nobert Wiener, The Anthropocene, George Orwell, The Matrix, and more. The project takes the user and reader on a philosophical journey through geological epochs and evolution, planetary destruction and toxicity due to human activity, as well as the mechanisms of information and technology.
