“There is nothing good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” – William Shakespeare
Cognition is a short film which tackles the dilemma of knowing versus not knowing. Set in the year 2030, a new technology is invented to project the next ten years of the lives of whoever chooses to interact with it. The film portrays a woman who chooses to interact with the technology and follows through the next ten years of her life as a result of viewing the screen. This sets the question of whether it was worth having such knowledge from the start or not at all.
