Persuasion Machines

Enter a smart living room that asks the question: are we in control of these machines or are they in control of us? The filmmakers of The Great Hack use mixed reality and surveillance technologies to bring to life the invisible world of data. Audiences experience how smart devices harvest data from our devices and how this data is then used to control us and persuade us. Directed by Karim Amer and Guvenc Ozel, and narrated by will.i.am. and Bits Sola.

Persuasion Machines brings to life the landscape of the social media algorithm, and was met with audience acclaim at Sundance 2020, and SXSW 2022.
