Human Not Human

About This Movie

Human Not Human is a compelling dive into the oddity of digital labor and identity, directed by Natan Castay. The film chronicles his journey as a 'Turker,' where he takes on the peculiar task of erasing faces from Google Street View for mere cents. It’s a curious blend of documentary and personal experiment, and you can feel Natan's playful yet introspective approach as he embodies the character of Otto. The pacing is methodical, almost hypnotic, emphasizing the absurdity of this work. Themes of anonymity, digital existence, and the value of labor weave through the narrative, creating a reflective atmosphere. It’s a distinctive take on contemporary life—perfectly odd and thought-provoking.
