EPiSODE iNFO

A powerful, provocative series from celebrated filmmaker Adam
Curtis, which argues that humans have unwittingly been colonised by
machines.

A series of films exploring the idea that we have been colonised by
the machines that we have built, seeing everything in the world
today through the eyes of computers.

Episode Two: The Use and Abuse of Vegetational Concepts

This is the story of how our modern scientific idea of nature, the
self-regulating ecosystem, is actually a fantasy based on cybernetic
ideas that were projected on to nature in the 1950s by ambitious
scientists. A static machine theory of order that sees humans, and
everything else on the planet, as components, cogs in a system. But
in an age disillusioned with politics, the self-regulating ecosystem
has become the model for utopian ideas of human "self-organising
networks"   dreams of new ways of organising societies without
leaders, as in the Facebook and Twitter revolutions, and in global
visions of connectivity like the Gaia theory.

This powerful idea emerged out of the hippie communes in America in
the 1960s, and from counterculture computer scientists who believed
that global webs of computers could liberate the world. At the very
moment this was happening, the science of ecology discovered that
the theory of the self-regulating ecosystem wasn't true. Instead
they found that nature was really dynamic and constantly changing in
unpredictable ways. But the dream of the self-organising network had
by now captured our imaginations.
