Virtuosity (1995) & Simone (2002): Virtual Identity & Illusion

This week, we're exploring the fascinating theme of virtually constructed people in the realm of VR. We'll start with Virtuosity, the 1995 action-packed film where a virtual serial killer becomes all too real, and then move on to Simone (S1m0ne), the 2002 movie that delves into the creation of a digital actress who fools the world. Both films explore the boundary between virtual creations and reality, and the ethical questions that arise when digital beings take on lives of their own. Join us as we dive into these thought-provoking films and the concept of virtual beings in our digital age. Visit our website https://www.journeythroughscifi.com/ Email Us!
