Description

A Film by Peter Krieg

From a Marilyn Monroe robot, to the ethics of artificial intelligence, to a robotic rock band, Machine Dreams explores the emotional, psychological, and mythic aspects of humanity's love affair with the Machine. This cyber-documentary delves into man's chilling and amusing relationship with technology.

From the 18th Century theory to the vision of a wild and unpredictable future, this surreal film looks ahead millions of years, where man's obsession with machines, androids and cyborgs has gone out of control!

Included are interviews with Marvin Minsky, MIT professor and the "father of articial intelligence"; NASA director Jesco von Puttkamer; and techno-artists James Whiting and Shunichi Mizuno.
