At the crossroads of art and science, this film centers on human beings and robots as their artificial counterparts. Like a series of archival documents detailing the first contacts and exchanges between human beings and a robot, the film studies cognitive dissonance, a minuscule, mysterious relational space lying between them both.
If you were able to create an immortal version of yourself, would you? This film explores the latest advancements in AI, robotics, and biotech with visionaries who argue for a new age of post-biological life. As scientists point us toward a world where humans and machines merge, we have to ask ourselves will AI be the best or the last thing we ever do?
Made at the International Film School in Cuba (EICTV) at the start of the rainy season. A tender re-examination of bodies from the first generation of Artificial Intelligence robots programmed with a full range of emotions. Electronic revolt and resistance. Secret messages encoded within robot diary fragments offer possible futures for post-human societies.
The intelligent robot DeepMind did not appear to be a worthy opponent for the world champion of the game of Go, Lee Sedol. From Bordeaux to Seoul, this film looks back at the tournament between them and asks what artificial intelligence can reveal about a 3,000-year-old game... and humanity.
