The dimly lit, cramped office looks almost alien with walls covered in complex algorithms and computer screens flashing with lines of code. At the center, under a flickering tube light is a computer engineer, dressed simply, engrossed in his work. He’s lost in a world of virtuality, operating on unconscious movement, his fingers typing away furiously. The room has the depth of a hollow shell, the only object with a sense of weight is his swivel chair, making the engineer the main focus of the shot. The frame is filled with a chaotic disarray of paperwork and coffee cups, the detritus of long nights. The camera angle is slightly overhead emphasizing the oppressive atmosphere. This perspective unwittingly shows the consequence of a divested life, completely traded for this addiction to coding. Suddenly, an algorithm backfires causing a system crash. His reaction is captured in slow motion from a lower angle, making him look powerless against the beast of his creation. The scene is dominated by cold, blue tones highlighting the stark nature of his predicament.
