In this film we follow Deborah and Yarden, two artists who worked on collaborative art project with the use of A.I. and the people of the kibbutz from which Deborah is from - Kfar Haruv. The project used 4500 face photos of the kibbutz's members, which were used to create new members using GAN technology. The project also included 3D scanning of living rooms from the kibbutz's members, which were used to model new furniture for the new members. These pieces were constructed in reality and placed in the kibbutz's pool as their living room. This underwater gallery was showcased in an event where all the kibbutz gathered at the pool to celebrate the arrival of the new members and were welcomed to jump in to swim around and observe the art. Swimming reflects the flow of digital space.

The film takes on three perspectives, the first of Deborah and Yarden at eye level, the second underwater, and the third from above looking 90 degrees down - the view of the A.I. member. This member, or character, has a voice that comes about as A.I. generated text in intervals throughout the film. The film uses drone videography, screen recordings of 3D environments and A.I. generated imagery.

This project went on to be exhibited in Israel several times. During Zero One Festival for art & technology, we had the chance to develop the project further by asking new questions as to how the kibbutz can progress through technology? We conceptualized the new kibbutz as a DAO and commemorated the event by minting NFTs as digital twins of art.
