They're Made Out of Meat

As part of our investigation into the future of robots, the class was asked to watch four videos of robots demonstrating sentience:
  • The scene in which HAL (from 2001: A Space Odyssey) is disconnected 
  • Robbie
  • NEWMEDIA, which portrays a future in which robots control the world
  • They're Made Out of Meat, in which two robots discuss the absurdity of human existence

After this, we were told by the teacher to create a role-play revolving around one of these videos seen previously - our group decided on They're Made Out of Meat. In order to re-enact the scene accurately, however, we first had to research the human condition to make sure we portrayed the characters correctly. Below is the definition discussed:

Human Condition: The portrayal of human characteristics through aspects of human existence such as growth, emotionality, morality and aspirations

We then started work on the script for final production.
