From the classic tale of Frankenstein to the unleashing of a bio-geneticist's cyber clones and a trippy take on what it might feel like to live inside the internet, IT’S (AI)LIVE! presents three films that explore issues of ethics, morality, and identity that parallel current anxieties surrounding the rise of AI and our increasing reliance on technology. Both thought-provoking and entertaining, this film series, curated by Dreamland Cinema, mirrors and expands on ideas presented in the exhibition AI Am I? Artificial Intelligence as Generated by Alexander Reben.  

Join us at 5:30 PM before each film for a guided Reel Tour of works on view that relate to themes in the film series.

Anxious to use artificially intelligent robots to improve the world, Rosetta Stone (Tilda Swinton), a bio-geneticist, breeds three Self Replicating Automatons— S.R.A.s— by downloading her own DNA into a "live" brew she is growing in her computer.
