This CGI animation follows a self-driving police car in a desolate landscape. In dialogue with a built-in therapist, they contemplate the meaning of freedom and lament their uselessness. As their conversation ensues, it becomes increasingly clear in what kind of world our protagonist is living. Theta is part of Lawrence Lek's Sinofuturist cinematic universe, in which he explores the psychological impact of technology on emerging forms of non-human life.

Sinofuturism is a video essay combining elements of science fiction, documentary melodrama, social realism, and Chinese cosmologies, in order to critique the present-day dilemmas of China and the people of its diaspora.

Heralded by the futuristic computer-generated cityscapes that have become a signature feature of his work, Lawrence Lek’s mini-opus Geomancer is less inclined to map the building blocks of the urban architecture of tomorrow than to try and summon up the spirit of our rapidly dawning age - one whose characteristics, Lek implies, include the growing ascendancy of the cultural phenomenon of Sino-Futurism. As the geopolitical axis tilts further to the East, and as once-dominant economic/technological models are cast into doubt, Lek alights on a longstanding tension between the place of the human and the role of the machine, sharpened by contemporary hopes and anxieties around the rise of East Asia, and by speculations that new forms of artificial intelligence, already outperforming mere mortals in matters of automation and aggregation, will challenge us in more creative skills as well.

《爱道》的故事背影设立在由计算机生成的虚拟游戏世界里，那里正在举行2065奥运会电子竞技决赛。主人公DIVA是一位失去了点击率的超级明星，她决定在决赛中利用人工智能来实行复出计划。该片是Sinofuturism先锋影像艺术家陆明龙的最新长片，着重描述人类与人工智能、超级企业的力量和创造力价值的理念。正如陆明龙所说，情节为观者提供了一条思路，而摄像机则充当观众的眼睛。本片为观众展示了一个充满未来主义色彩、部分可辨认的丛林、庙宇、体育场和抽象的另类宇宙，逐步带领我们观察故事中人工智能的兴起与人类对名声的渴望。
