[This is a part-time project for Intel, researching and illustrating 'The Future of Money']
When you go out for dinner and you pay the bill with your card, there will always be that awkward moment where the waitress asks whether you want to leave a tip. Compare this to casually leaving the change on the table or tipping a bellboy with a folded note in your handshake. It seems as if the more our money becomes invisible, the more elaborate, orchestrated and explicit the transaction becomes. To illustrate this paradox, I made three filmclips, starring an object which allows you make your electronic transactions more subtle and bring back a bit of the comforting ambiguity of hard cash.

In 1950, Alan Turing described what later became famous as the 'Turing test': a proposal to test a machine's intelligence. It proceeds as follows: a human judge engages in a natural language conversation with one human and one machine, each of which try to appear human; if the judge cannot reliably tell which is which, then the machine has passed the test. Since the 50's, no machine or computer has ever passed the test.

Dave Bowman always believed domestic appliances would liberate him. He thought he could use technology as a tool to control the world around him. The Story of Dave Bowman is a short-film about a man and his washing machine and wants to question our relationship with technology. Are we the master with domestic appliances as our slaves or might it be the other way around?
