This Sunday, citizens of Sarajevo will have the opportunity to see the film ‘Google and the World Brain’ which will be shown in Meeting Point Cinema 6 p.m.
In partnership with Internews and YIHR for the project YouthLINC, Pravo Ljudski presents the world-known creative documentary by Ben Lewis: Google and the World Brain.
The story of the most ambitious project ever conceived on the Internet. In 2002 Google began to scan millions of books in an effort to create a giant global library, containing every book in existence. They had an even greater purpose – to create a higher form of intelligence, something that HG Wells had predicted in his 1937 essay “World Brain”. But over half the books Google scanned were in copyright, and authors across the world launched a campaign to stop Google, which climaxed in a New York courtroom in 2011. A film about the dreams, dilemmas and dangers of the Internet.extensive travels is a six-second clip of a super-secret Google Scanning Facility, Google and the World Brain is about more than algorithms and tech. It’s about the dream of building “a library to last forever” and the true cost in attaining that dream.
