NETWORK SPIRITUALITY: A Sermon From The Wired

“NETWORK SPIRITUALITY: A Sermon From the Wired” explores the internet’s evolution from mere information infrastructure into a profoundly spiritual dimension. The film critiques the commodification of human creativity and experience into engagement data, cautioning against a purely transactional relationship with technology. Invoking Heidegger’s warnings about the mechanization of the world while radically embracing a techno-accelerationist future, it compels viewers to recognize the spirituality emerging both on and in the networks we've built. The essay channels a torrent of digital ephemera to capture the kaleidoscopic nature of the hyper-connected online world it portrays. Ultimately, NETWORK SPIRITUALITY calls for a compassionate and deliberate approach—not only to preserve our own humanity, but also to ethically steward the emergent artificial intelligences we share a destiny with in the Wired.
