I was the animation director of a mini documentary that investigates super longevity, super intelligence and super wellbeing, and briefly cover the ideas of thinkers Aubrey de Grey, Ray Kurzweil and David Pearce, called “PostHuman: An Introduction to Transhumanism”.
The documentary went viral on Reddit upon launch in 2013, pre-empting the AI boom and other conversations that the world at large only picked up 10 years later.
