Ghostcode

AUDINT presents Ghostcode, a 3d animated science-fiction film set in 2056 uncovering advancements in sonic warfare, holographic entertainment and its weaponization, the synthesis of corporation and nation state, and the unstable intentions of net-born artificial intelligence. This is an era in which human flesh has been removed from the messy equations of political turbulence, resulting in conflicts conducted by holographic and holosonic forces. Through complex motion graphics, voice narration and intricate sound design, we follow the exploits of IREX2, a rogue artificial intelligence on the run from its undead creators as it competes against Columbian blackhat hacker Sureshot to develop a new breed of AI holographic fighters named “AI-Holos”. With a narrative objective traversing research conducted on the limits of ultrasound such as the Third Ear, Pain ©Amps, Pain Coin, the Rapparitions, Neurode, Ultrasonic Sirens - Ghostcode unravels a near future enmeshed by the trappings of its own desires towards the melding and eventual extinction of all organic beings into its next redesign: synthetic life free of its human ancestors. The needle is in the red and pain is wanted, not blood.
