One day, you asked me, “Are you living your life to the fullest?” Well, what does it even mean to live life to the fullest? Since hearing those words over the phone, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about what it truly means to live fullest. “What do you mean by living life to the fullest?” - 'I just mean… are you really trying your best in life?' Hearing this from someone I love gives me a strange, unexplainable feeling. ...and the fact that eternal happiness is, in turn, endless misery… I collected about 30 German educational films, divided them into small scenes and stitched them back together to create a single film. As a test before recording the narration, I had the AI with my voice read the text of the movie, and the AI produced a bizarre result in which my voice became increasingly robotic. I felt a sense of inexplicable fear between this existential movie and my own voice becoming robotic.
