The Vision Machine

Overview

The Vision Machine was filmed at the factory of SIGMA Corporation, a renowned global brand of lenses for photography and cinema production. Like most such manufacturers, it is based in Japan. Using lenses manufactured by the factory, Young filmed their female employees as they performed their usual tasks on the production, assembly and testing process. No men are featured, and while the piece alludes to the genres of documentary or corporate video, it was filmed and edited to suggest a speculative fiction: a lensmaking factory run (and perhaps owned) by women.
