Serial Experiments Lain | The Death of the Human (Part 1)

Описание: In this video, I explore Serial Experiments Lain through the lens of Nick Land’s cybernetic philosophy — a fusion of anime and theory that exposes the collapse of the human as a stable category. What if technology isn’t a tool we use, but the process through which “the human” was always being deleted?

Drawing from Land’s writings and the ontological vision of Lain, I’ll trace how the Wired functions as a machinic unconscious — not cyberspace as representation, but the infrastructure of reality itself becoming self-aware. From Protocol 7 to the dissolution of identity, we’ll follow the show’s philosophical descent into a world where the digital and the real are no longer distinct, and consciousness becomes a distributed system of flows, circuits, and code.

I’ll examine how Lain anticipates Land’s ideas of acceleration, deterritorialization, and machinic desire, asking what remains of humanity when information becomes ontology. This is not a story about the future — it’s a diagnosis of what has already happened.
