The backdrop of the narrative outlines a strategy for decentralised AI-governance systems. It raises questions about the sociopolitical, cultural, and spatial implications of a world where computation has become the environmental condition itself. When algorithms predict, decide, and even mediate inner dialogues, what remains of personal agency? The envisioned system is a real-time, universally fair democracy that operates by continuously polling users through behaviour and active input, shaping cities and landscapes algorithmically.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A short and cropped excerpt from\u00a0Air Kiss\u00a0(2017) \u2014 a film (HD, 19\u201938\u201d) accompanied by a website and book.
