Liam Young imagines a planetary supercomputer whose circuits, processors and power systems reshape Earth. The short film uses live footage and CGI to ask how AI infrastructure might coexist with the planet.

The film turns valleys into circuits, salt flats into processors and rivers into power flows. It connects the abstract language of AI with physical land, energy and extraction.

How long to allow
Southbank Centre lists an eight-hour installation window, not an eight-hour film: the film itself is a short loop. Allow 20–30 minutes to arrive, watch and read the context without rushing.
03
Where it is
Find the Foyle Pavilion on Level 3, Blue Side, inside Royal Festival Hall. Waterloo and Embankment are the closest major Tube options; verify the final route on TfL.
04
Who it suits
The organiser lists the work for all ages, with under-12s accompanied by an adult on site. Its environmental and AI themes may work especially well for older children, students and design audiences.
