c: o/re Movie Nights – I’m a Cyborg, But That’s OK

We are looking forward to the collaboration with the film studio of RWTH Aachen University! As part of the lecture series of the Käte Hamburger Center for Advanced Study in the Humanities: Cultures of Research in the summer semester “Lifelikeness” we will show the film:

I’m a Cyborg, But That’s OK by Park Chan-wook. The film will be preceded by a short introduction and followed by a discussion moderated by the Käte Hamburger Center for Advanced Study in the Humanities: Cultures of Research.

The film will be screened at the Aula 1 im Hauptgebäude der RWTH Aachen (Temeplgraben 55, 52062) on the 11th of June at 20:15pm. All details and tickets can be found here.

By “Lifelikeness” we mean the representation and/or imitation of living beings of living beings in science and technology in fields such as robotics, synthetic biology or AI and neuromorphic computing. We ask how their increasing complexity mimics not only a fixed notion of life, but also the understanding of “life” as such.
