Video World Builder:
Q: What ways does it position ‘the human’ in relation to the technological? What does it say about ways in which human emotion can be manipulated by digital simulation?
The message in the video stated the potential of humans to find ways to connect with those that they love, and use their creative imagination to build a world that enables us to connect.
Video 2 There made of meat:
Q:What conclusions might you draw from this about the human body, and whether we can see the body as providing a stable basis for defining what it means to be human?
This video reminds me of the discussion I recently had with my son as to when are we human? Is it when our heart stops beating or when we are brain dead, or when our sole has left our body.
For me being human is about being able to connect, have and express emotion, or have conscious thought.
Will it be possible in the future to freeze our brains and to become alive again, with a different body made of 'meat' or machine?
