THE MACHINE is a story of one man's life and crash.
RALF (FDDR-2000) - is a a creation of the Future Digital Dream Reality -
- (FDDR) materialization system.
RALF is a materialized digital machine.
He was created as a Perfect Man - A Man Of Her Dream Model by A Woman-Scientist, who was also the originator and designer of FDDR System.
Being unsatisfied with the result, The Woman goes beyond in her experimental work by adding human DNA-data and bio-material, extracted from her own blood-sells.
There is a hidden but very important difference between machine system and human being.
The Machine is perfect in its structure and functionality, but It never questions nor emotionally evaluates its own qualities.
The Man is not perfect in any way, yet He carries an Ideal Image of Perfection in his mind and evaluates himself against it.
The Man also evaluates judgements of him from other People, He values Social Judgement of His Own Personality.
The Woman's experiment had a devastating result.
Now Ralf is a Perfect Man, he is a Bio-Digital System with Human haracteristics. Now He questions his own image, searching for personal identity, evaluates himself and compares Himself with Others ("I" vs. "THEM").
He recornizes his own perfection and superiority and demands a total and unconditional recognition from the Society.
The demand for recognition takes spiral acceleration, it becomes his obscession, Perfect Man transforms into a Cult Leader.
Ralf's Bio-Organism System reachis its critical level of fatigue, which works as self-preservation mechanism, while his digital system gets traped in endless accelerating processing loop, which brings the sytem to overload and unrecoverable crash.
At the end we see An Old and Inferior Man on The Street. This Is An Old Man who wasted his life. Now He has only memories and sorrow. This is The Old Man with An Old Drum, who is starting the show, sharing his story... |
