Body Image in AI Movies:A Way to Understand the Posthuman
The posthuman body image, as an embodiment of posthuman thinking, is an important means of understanding posthuman. The body models created by artificial intelligence (AI) movies introduce multiple elements such as genetic engineering, enhanced exoskeleton, and cylinder midbrain. They are arranged and combined with the thinking objects, including body, soul, gender and reproduction, thus producing several posthuman body models. At the same time, new medium technologies—3 D, 4 D, VR, AR and MR—are redefining movies. Images have become increasingly three-dimensional,“ quasi-inductive” and materialized, and are turned into a process-relational event in physical experience. The body is not only the core element of the world constructed by images but also the object that receives moving images or the subject that facilitates this process-relational event.
