We are thrilled to announce the third and final Feminist Technoscience Film Club of this semester! We will watch two episodes of the South Korean drama My Holo Love (2020) and warm up with the short film Alexandra (2019) directed by Anna Brynskov. Expect hologram, AI, and blockchain technologies on screen 👾

Alexandra takes place in a greener future where two students negotiate their electricity use with Alexandra – a blockchain system that manages with firm hand. A critical-feminist comment on algorithmic decision-making.

My Holo Love is about the woman So-yeon who by coincidence becomes the betatester of Holo – a hologram- and AI-based personal assistant. Friendly feelings emerge between So-yeon and Holo, but competing developers are after the Holo prototype, and Holo must use all of his machine intelligence to keep So-yeon and himself safe. The K-drama looks into Korea’s commercial tech start-up culture and wraps it in cute melodrama and far out imaginaries about AI.

Afterwards, we will form a circle with our chairs and have a collective discussion on bodily relations & machines, future imaginaries about AI, solutionism, gender roles, and impressions from the audience. 🛸💗

WHAT: Screening of My Holo Love + Alexandra, followed by discussion
WHERE: AIR Lab at IT University of Copenhagen
WHEN: May 14, 16:00-18:45
