SUMMARY:”The Mirage” and “Ghost in the Machine” free film screenings about AI
DESCRIPTION:by Carolyn Classen\, blogger \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets Available DAY OF at Box Office \n\n\n\nSUNDAY\, OCTOBER 25 AT 2:00PM\n\n\n\nFREE ADMISSION\n\n\n\nTICKETS AVAILABLE DAY OF AT BOX OFFICE\n\n\n\n“Music Against the Machine\, an art and music fest hosted by the No Desert Data Center Coalition\, presents a community double feature in collaboration with Desert Dispatch Media and Ghost in the Machine. \n\n\n\nFrom 1pm until 2pm Meet and Greet with Desert Dispatch Media co-facilitators Jodi Darby and Melinda Matson Spina.  Connect with community members in the movement against mining\, militarization\, surveillance\, data centers\, and other harms for AI. \n\n\n\nThe screenings will begin at 2pm. \n\n\n\nThe Mirage: Inhumane Tech in the Silicon Desert (15min) by media artist Jodi Darby and composers Sage Bond and Kevin Van Winkle \n\n\n\nThe Mirage: Inhumane Tech in the Silicon Desert is an impact video to catalyze public knowledge and discussion on hyperscale threats in the North American desert region\, produced by Desert Dispatch Media with Jodi Darby\, Sage Bond\, and Kevin Van Winkle. \n\n\n\nMedia Artist Jodi Darby co-directed the 2015 award-winning documentary\, Arresting Power: Resisting Police Violence in Portland\, Oregon. \n\n\n\nComposer Sage Bond is a Diné composer and vocal artist ‘in residence’ from the Four Corners region\, who has performed at Carnegie Hall and who collaborates with her partner\, composer and orchestrator Kevin Van Winkle. \n\n\n\nGHOST IN THE MACHINE (110 min)Ghost in the Machine is a gripping and urgently relevant investigative documentary that exposes the buried history of artificial intelligence\, not as a neutral system of algorithms\, but as a technology shaped by racism\, misogyny\, eugenics\, and entrenched structures of power long before it entered everyday life. Rejecting the notion of AI as inevitable or objective\, the film traces how myths of progress and efficiency have obscured deeper political and cultural agendas\, revealing the ideological foundations beneath the systems now reshaping modern society. \n\n\n\nStructured as an eight-chapter inquiry\, the film blends historical excavation with contemporary analysis to confront essential questions: who built these systems\, whose values they encode\, and who they benefit. Directed by Valerie Veatch\, whose Sundance-premiering films ME @ THE ZOO (HBO) and LOVE CHILD (HBO) examined how emerging technologies transform identity\, power\, and culture\, Ghost in the Machine employs a bold yet accessible cinematic approach that is as unsettling as it is illuminating\, offering a visceral understanding of a technology that now touches nearly every aspect of modern life. \n\n\n\nThis is not a film about machines. It is a film about power. Ghost in the Machine interrogates who builds AI\, who benefits from it\, and who bears the cost. \n\n\n\nDesert Dispatch Media is a grassroots production group\, led by women and based in the desert southwest\, tax-deductible through the Desert Advocacy Media Network; and in search of a regional director to collaborate with in producing a feature documentary on the desert regional movement against inhumane extraction\, expansion\, and deployment for AI. \n\n\n\nBuild capacity for Desert Dispatch Media productions by making a donation at thedamn.org/DDfund \n\n\n\nThis is a Community Rental presented by Ghost Doc LLC.” \n\n\n\n2 HR 0 MIN | NR\n\n\n\nReleased 2026\n\n\n\n\nhttps://loftcinema.org/film/the-mirage-and-ghost-in-the-machine-double-feature/
