    • Quotes

      Gwen 2.0: What's wrong?

      Jules: I don't really know why I'm alive.

      Gwen 2.0: Doesn't matter. Whatever you do will be wonderful and worthwhile.

      Jules: How do you know?

      Gwen 2.0: I know because you're kind.

      Jules: People say being kind is being weak.

      Gwen 2.0: You're alive because of energy, and empathy. Your mother had so much of it inside of her, she needed to get it out. So she made you.

      Jules: You're starting to sound like her.

    uploading 1.0

    This is quite an intriguing take on the theme of the singluarity. What happens during uploading (transferring the consciousness to a new vessel)? In terms of the cognition, this work seems to reflect the latest advances in terms of the scientific work that has been done the last years. One of the key one of the findings being that the consciousness that we experience is tied to the body and their intertwined growing process. Studies of evolution, robotics and neuroscientists seem to converge on this idea. Enough of guessing the scientific Zeitgeist... What is astonishing about the movie is the fundamental level the theme is approached. Dance is important. It shows from the beginning to the end. And through the very nature of movement, the archaic, the everyday-things, those striving for that higher purpose will probably halt and think (if they see, and not just watch). This work puts great and visionary ideas in a very human context. This review is written with the movie still undigested, so it might sound a bit raw and weird. In any case it made quite an impression on me.
