about
In “Machine”, we follow the story of a group of butterflies with a lifespan of just one day. By accident, they find themselves trapped inside a machine designed to kill mosquitoes. As the butterflies struggle to survive and escape, we see the devastating impact of this machine on the natural world and the delicate balance of ecosystems.
But "Machine" is more than just a cautionary tale about the harm we can do to the environment. It also serves as a commentary on the way that our society often prioritizes efficiency and productivity over all else, even at the expense of other living beings. As we watch the butterflies fight for survival, we are forced to confront the ways in which our own actions and choices have consequences for the world around us.
Through its stunning visuals and thought-provoking narrative, "Machine" invites us to consider the value of all life and the importance of taking a more mindful and responsible approach to technological advancement.
