Lecture: Blade Runner
In this week’s lecture we had the showing of the movie “Blade Runner” this film directed by Ridley Scott in 1982 in based on the book “do androids dream of electric sheep” written by Phillip.K.Dick. This movie explores the meaning of being human and the relation between human and machine. It let me think about the evolution of the machine imagining how it would be if they develop feelings and become more human.
Reading: ‘An Exploration of What It Means to be Human’ by T.J LeGrice.
The novel talks about the 1968 novel “do androids dream of electric sheep” written by Phillip.K.Dick which explores the same notion of humanity in the machine, this novel was later called ‘Blade Runner’. As a basis for the movie we watched “Blade Runner”; this week’s reading was about the possible development of feelings by the machine and what it would involve for the human kind. It questions the future differences between humans and machines: could we make a distinction between the two kinds?
