In All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace, Ezra Veldhuis and Bosse Provoost address the theme of freedom and unfreedom in relation to technology, by staging Richard Brautigan’s 1967 poem of the same name. Brautigan’s poem depicts a cybernetic garden of Eden, an idyll in which machines will free us from work.
Here, he throws new light on human nature by connecting the theory of scientist Bill Hamilton – that humans are machines controlled by genes (popularised by Richard Dawkins in The Selfish Gene) – with years of conflict in the Congo.
