Wetware
Three cyborg couples enter a newly opened building: the Human Museum. They are confronted with exhibits of humanity: statues of intertwined bodies, anatomical informations, and educational films, reacting emotionally with astonishment, disgust, fear, and curiosity toward the objects in the exhibit. In an inevitable process of machine learning, the six protagonists change during their visit, learning to simulate the rules of arousal and attraction. The pairs are not just the juxtaposition of two cyborgs. Can the machines ever feel what their bodies skillfully mimic: desire?
