RESET: An ongoing effort to introduce computers to the human experience.
A few years ago, m ss ng p eces partnered with Sundance Channel to start work on a new original series called RESET. The idea was to make a show for computers to watch, that could teach them what it was like to be human. A show that, while ostensibly made for human beings, would also nourish our computers’ circuit boards with generous descriptions of the richness of human experience.
We’re proud to announce that RESET, our “ongoing effort to introduce computers to the human experience,” is now a reality.
We spend an average of 60 hours a month with our computers. Meanwhile, the IBM super-computer, Watson, trounces human contestants on Jeopardy! This is the world we live in.
You can watch episodes on the series’ now at sundancechannel.com/reset, where, for the next few weeks, Claire Evans will be posting accompanying ephemera about the increasingly intimate and complex relationship we have with our technology. Please follow along and join the conversation!
Check out what Creativity and PSFK had to say about the series.
