"AlphaGo" is a documentary that captures the story of the first computer program to defeat a professional human Go player. I portrayed humanity and AI in this specific context through various symbolic motifs such as the blending of the monitor and the game board.
To pay homage to the documentary's featured player, Lee Sedol, I incorporated a cigarette, to capture his essence and to signify his smoke breaks during the intense games.
Overall, I wanted the environment for the sequence to be ambiguous, allowing the spotlight to shine on the objects themselves and evoke a sense of intrigue.
