Cinematic Cyborgs

Cinematic Cyborgs: Humans & Technology on Screen takes a closer look at the many ways film has predicted and prophesied the intersection of human culture and AI technologies by examining the various portrayals on screen. During the course, students will critically analyze how "new" technology has been positioned in society - for good, for evil - and explore themes of identity, agency, embodiment, and the blurring boundaries between human and machine.
