Description

BOB is short for Bag of Beliefs, an experimental piece of AI that Dr. Wong installs into his daughter’s nervous system to evaluate its effect on decision making. As BOB takes hold, this 48-minute animation turns to the question of who we are as people. Life After BOB uses software to incorporate real-time changes, and the audience is encouraged to edit the Life After BOB wiki to further alter the production.
