Filmmaker Remi Vaughn believes there’s never been a more critical time to create this documentary series. In her career as a cybersecurity professional, Remi has witnessed the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, robotics, machine learning, and supercomputers, making technology increasingly complex and pervasive.

Technology fuels greater violence and conflict with the deployment of sophisticated, destructive weapons. It harvests our natural resources faster than ever, even in the most remote corners of the planet. It expands our throwaway society through mass production, making everything we create obsolete in a nanosecond—leaving us with only fleeting self-gratification before we can grasp their significance.

Remi, like many others in her field, feels it deeply: we are becoming more and more obsolete. While our logical minds recognize technology’s potential to solve any problem, there’s an underlying fear that, along the way, we are losing our humanity.

With Tales of Transformation, Remi envisions an art piece that bridges the gap between the incredible benefits of technology and the darkness it can bring to human civilization. This project will focus on artists who turn discarded technology into beauty, preserving the heart and soul of humanity in their creations. Through their artwork, they strive to make themselves—and all of us—relevant in an increasingly technological world.
