Electronic musician Steve Aoki releases his new music video, showing in an eerie and surreal way what life might be like when we get to choose whether we want to live forever….or not. Ray Kurzweil is part of the video where he asserts that the meeting of minds and machines are part of our not so distant future.
At a time when technology and biology walk down the aisle and exchange vows, life will never be the same as we now know it. This — our future reality — may not be one our brains can wrap around today, but it is a notion that the likes of Futurists and Singularians attest is coming whether we want it to or not….and sooner than we think. Non-biological and biological visuals aside, the music is upbeat and more mash-ups like these are going to be inevitable.
Experience that neon future life in the world of Aoki and his collaborators below. The video is produced by Gille Klabin and produced by Josh Shadid and Maxwell Riesberg.
