On the Intelligent Form by James Caridi-Doyle
In Ex Machina, we see a struggle spin outwards from a central point of knowledge: qualities which would have at one point fallen solely within what might be described as the prescriptive domain of the human Form have begun to fall outside of that domain. When we are presented, through the film, with a robot that demonstrably moves like a human, looks like a human, exhibits the consciousness of a human, and in the very abstract sense feels like a human, we are left to wonder what exactly defines us in a world that holds such possibilities.
