Random International creates art that explores human interaction with technology, exemplified by their installation 'Rain Room' where sensors prevent visitors from getting wet while it rains.

Artists have been sampling from our models and using them as a distance measure to explore creative possibilities, leading to a nice explosion of creativity in their work.

The display of pain in robots can make them feel more human, as giving them a voice, especially one that expresses dislike or pain, creates a deeper connection.

The subtlety of human expressions, such as the difference between a real smile and a fake smile, is essential to capture in computer graphics, as it conveys deep emotional nuances.

Machines can teach us about our humanity, and the potential for AI to prompt self-discovery and understanding is a valuable aspect of human-robot relationships. I find myself craving the delight of interactions with robots, as we all have experiences from childhood or adulthood where we want others to feel what we feel.

Interacting with AI can create a sense of reflection, as users see aspects of themselves mirrored back through these machines.

Humans are the most challenging aspect of computer graphics due to our evolved ability to detect patterns, faces, and emotions, which makes capturing realistic human representations difficult.

Getting human faces right in computer graphics involves the interplay of numerous systems; if any aspect is incorrect, it can lead to an uncanny valley effect, making the representation feel off.

One of my favorite lines in Ex Machina is when Caleb points out that the real Turing test doesn't reveal whether the entity is human or machine, highlighting the film's exploration of consciousness.
