The Delete Machine

Serendipity – that happy accident that produces something good.  Scientists have made accidental discoveries throughout history that have led to untold benefits to humanity.  And then there are the accidents that haven’t.  This is one of them.

The Delete Machine was created by Charlie Ledwidge for their degree in 2D Digital Animation at the University of Hertfordshire in 2023.  Hopefully this short tale will lead to big things – without any serendipity necessary!

You can watch the animation below.
