4024

"4024" focuses on an imaginary scenario: in 4024 a bioengineering technology can shrink human body to only 15cm in height to reduce the consumption of food and energy. Archaeologists unearth a collection of jewelry from 2024 AD. These pieces are too big to be worn by the human being living in 4024. The wearer of this jewelry feels powerful and insignificant simultaneously.

Will this non-anthropocentric future overthrow human civilization and cancel the value of every object we know?
