Scraper
Film · 71 min
Directed by Dane Sutherland
Scraper is a dank mixed-reality film-biome presented in six parts across 71mins. Each kaleidoscopic chapter is an interface for a folkless lore of Minimally Viable Knowledge: stories of procedural data extraction, and aggregation as a cultural logic. Together they explore a ‘connectionist mentality’; an implicit ideological code or intellectual spirit emerging across our platform feeds. Scraper's acid-pessimism traces a scorched history of excommunication, encryption, and ecstatic extraction; an ‘entropology’ of memetic redundancy, ecstatic resignation, and model collapse.

Maybe add the TV series "Scraper"?

Jefferson and Read had sold a scripted series to Apple titled Scraper that was based on the inner workings of Gawker, and the quartet, along with a handful of, as Carmichael puts it, “very accomplished, amazing screenwriters and playwrights on Broadway,” were producing scripts for the first season. [...] “Max and I had been concerned about that when we sold the project to Apple,” says Jefferson, but the executives developing the project “told us there was a very protective firewall between the TV side and the tech side.” But a month before the writers room wrapped with scripts for the first season’s eight episodes, Jefferson recalls, “an executive called me and said word had reached Tim Cook that we were doing a show set in a world similar to Gawker, and he had put the kibosh on it personally.” Jefferson and his 3 Arts Entertainment manager Jermaine Johnson (who also represents Read and Carmichael) say they heard about but never saw an email in which Cook allegedly referred to Gawker as rife with “vile human beings.” (Cook did not respond to requests for comment.)
