About this video

NOMAD is a short film we completed at the MIT MEDIA LAB, focusing on the Amazon rainforest, tribal cultures, and future cities. Under this broad theme, we ponder a critical question: In modern society, people unilaterally exploit natural resources based on their interests, without considering whether nature can sustain these demands. This approach has led to a yearly reduction in the land area of the Amazon rainforest—a precious natural resource—contributing to the various environmental issues we face today. Hence, we envision a future where people are always "in tune with the environment," imagining that tribal natives could engage in a viable dialogue and balance between the supply and demand of natural resources. They would construct a city capable of moving freely, assessing a region's resources and environmental data to decide whether humans should continue to exploit resources there. If a region can no longer support human life, the city would summon its citizens and relocate to the next site. We hope this city, which is forever wandering in the forests and winds, offers audiences a dual aesthetic experience, both spiritually and visually, and stimulates reflections on freedom, the environment, and the coexistence of humanity with nature.
