Abstract
El presente artículo analiza las relaciones entre humanos y simulaciones tecnológicas a través de tres producciones audiovisuales aparecidas en los últimos años: Her, Ex Machina y Vuelvo Enseguida. Sus imágenes y argumentos proyectan en el futuro las inquietudes que suscita actualmente el desarrollo tecnológico, en concreto la posible creación de seres que simulan a las personas. Al mismo tiempo, estos seres artificiales, que hoy en día solo podemos observar en la ciencia ficción, muestran su potencial adaptación a la sociedad en la que vivimos, con una superior capacidad para gestionar la información. No obstante, en las producciones analizadas la singularidad, la posibilidad de que el dominio sobre las máquinas se revierta, adquiere un nuevo significado, sustituyendo el enfrentamiento contra la tecnología por diferentes versiones que abarcan su independencia pacífica, su aislamiento y su liberación en busca de supervivencia.
This article analyzes the relationship between humans and technological simulations according to three recent audiovisual productions: Her, Ex Machina and Be Right Back. Their images and arguments illustrate the current uncertainties about technological development, projecting a future in which the concerns are particularly focused on the simulation of human beings. Simultaneously, these fictional beings show, in the audiovisual productions analyzed, their adaptation to the society in which we live, with a superior ability to process and store information. However, in the two films and the episode examined, the singularity, the possibility of being controlled and dominated by machines, acquires a new meaning, replacing the collective confrontation against technology with different versions in which the machines determined to be independent peacefully, are confined to isolation or are release in order to survive.
