dude where is my data" is an 18-minute experimental desktop short movie. Inspired by "The Big Lebowski", the protagonist and a friend set out to find his missing data. He is guided by metaphors such as the cloud. A journey develops on which he encounters Meta, Google and Amazon, sometimes subtly, sometimes more clearly formulated, and instead of finding his data, he comes to critical reflections. Among other things, this raises the questions of what a digital metaverse might materially look like, where data is hoarded, whether Western globalized power infrastructures are reproduced through algorithms/software (Clouds Europe/Africa), and what happens to the profits from the business with data?
Have fun watching!
