Image Society - Intro is an 3D animation that explores a fictional future world shaped by an explosion of digital imagery and advanced imaging technologies, presented from a first-person perspective. Inspired by the research of Hito Steyerl, Image Society envisions a future molded by artificial intelligence, digital media, and projection technologies, inviting viewers to reflect on the impact of contemporary visual culture. The short film offers a brief introduction to a society that industrializes and reimagines food, architecture, and landscapes through imagery. It is part of an ongoing multimedia project Image Society.



What is Image Society?

The social structure of the future closely mirrors that of the present, featuring similar urban forms and societal organizations. However, natural resources have become critically scarce. In this society, food, architecture, and landscapes are all composed of industrial materials. Food is made from a single basic ingredient but is engineered to simulate a rich variety of textures and flavors. Under the profound influence of artificial intelligence, digital imagery, and the internet, the city has evolved into a highly advanced "Image Society," where all things lacking a physical form are compensated through imagery. Projection technology has become a ubiquitous medium in the city, filling every functional and necessary space.
