Paisajes Transformados’s documentary remind me of the undergraduate internship.We have been to an Metalworking workshop in this internship. We learned about how people get along with these machines and how the product was duplicated. People work in machines was like cyborg in science fictions, which means machines are part of their organs.A workshop full of metal machines in the factory brought me a feeling of separation from natural landscapes, far away from the natural environment I lived in. I consider this strangeness as an uncertain “future” and “development” because they are far beyond my life experience. Now I’m looking at what I’ve experienced, they are too absurd to predict the future in a positive way.
Even in the field workshop, I’ve never thought of connecting terrible machines to my daily life, not to mention that when this invisible production process being showed to the public by medias, such as the documentary film from paisajes transformados. How to make everyone act and reflect on their common sense is still a problem to be solved, which is a question of roots participation.
This is an old picture from Beijing_Silvermine—a baby holding cocacola from industry duplication. This symbolize a beginning of new era, but is it hopeful?

This is nice piece of writing Ruoxue. Your description of your first hand experience is of great value.
The image you have added and the question you ask is thought provoking ? Perhaps you can ask the group this via the discussion board ?
Also please do have a look at so that you can reference your imagery . https://blogs.ed.ac.uk/eca-digitalskills/2020/08/26/setting-up-your-class-blog/
Good personal response to course content .
Future posts could include direct sources from the lecture and readings.
