Abigail Child has been at the vanguard of experimental media since the 1980s. In her latest project, she offers viewers an eerie and exciting look into the present and future of artificial intelligence including potential medical applications and exploitation in the arena of sexual fantasies. We are led on these explorations by an artificial construct known as BINA48 (Breakthrough Intelligence via Neural Architecture), modeled after a black lesbian and designed to test hypotheses concerning the ability to download a person's consciousness into a non-biological or nanotech body. Child’s thought-provoking film reveals the contemporary dance between metal and flesh as humans become more mechanical while robots, those human mirrors, approach consciousness. Child also considers the emerging technology’s ethical and emotional implications, presenting a speculative not-too-distant future grounded in sci-fi.
