Episode 308 - DAWN OF THE DIGITAL DEAD

With advances in CGI and AI technologies, it is not hard to animate
“Still Life” making it appear to resurrect from the dead. This new
artificial life is like taking a dead form and giving it motion —
giving it a digital life. Perhaps we can call it the Dawn of the
Digital Dead — the real “Nature Morte.” Thanks to Deep Fake
technology, movie sets are able to raise deceased actors and have
them perform on the screen. Moreover, this creates additional
concerns about the ethics of digitally reviving our loved ones from
the great beyond. What if the metaverse is merely a stepping stone
towards a far darker reality, one in which you are no longer in the
metaverse, but the metaverse is in you? Tonight on Ground Zero,
Clyde Lewis talks about NATURE MORTE – DAWN OF THE DIGITAL
DEAD.
