    The cyborg bartender ‘Ratz’ is described with a “pink plastic” (Gibson, Neuromancer, 1984) glove that against the darkened setting of the first setting puts very artificial taste to the mood. In discussion about cybernetic enhancements you see so many examples of this in films including ‘Robocop’ [1987], ‘The Matrix’ [1999] or more recently in ‘Blame’ [2017] or Ghost in the Shell [2017]. With the exception of Robocop that has taken the cyborg enhancements to the extreme these films have merged the enhancements for a poetic effect particularly ‘The Matrix’ being one of the most true cyberpunk films has followed the original style with it’s organic shape and black colours that have made the machines in this world almost appear biological and thus the inclusion of the human mix have fitted so well to human biology it’s unsettling yet subtle, in fig. you see Neo’s spine that has been so elegantly patterned with smaller machinery.

  • Mr Zizek Hamster Analysis

    309 Words  | 2 Pages

    Despite the many intriguing bodily movements that followed Mr. Zizek's harsh realistic remarks, what captivated me was his perspective of the hamster. While the hamster served as a fetish for the absence of his wife, the fetish may not even be considered a fetish because that can be described as simply missing someone, a common emotion; such as uncertainty. While he dabbled around his connection between the hamster and a fetishist, It dawned on me the idea that he himself may have had a hamster of his own and so perhaps, his whole idea of the safety blankets, taking the form a glasses, really doesn't piece together as well as he thought. I took into consideration everything that Zizek said and one particular quote stuck with me: "The unconscious
