Research for a movie filled with robot love

The incredibly wealthy engineer Bob falls in love with the offline Alice. What Alice does not know is that Bob participates in a pioneering experiment in which the participants upload all their experiences to create a loving AI. When Alice discovers this, she breaks the relationship and disappears without a trace. Bob must put everything on the line to find and recapture her.

This is the beginning of a film scenario that Merijn Bolink and Marc van Dijk are working on. The question of how AI will change our experience of love is central. During ROBOT LOVE the writers will be present for three days for spontaneous and planned Socratic conversations, brainstorming sessions or (private) expert meetings. They use the exhibition as a mini-residency to enrich their story.
