How Cinema is Shaping the Way We See the Future of Artificial Intelligence

The spectrum of desire that drives the design and architecture worlds has shifted. Where homes were once considered a showcase of wealth and access to the world's most elusive treasures, they are now a comfortable hub – a chamber within which we find space to cleanse ourselves of life, and clasp moments of calm to our chests, snatched from the chaos and demand of a connected world. For many, luxury has been redefined. It now revolves around adding convenience, function and intuition to the home, inevitably culminating in society entering a state of comatose artificial intelligence reliance, or at least that's what the film industry would have you believe. "The future is big business but we have had it in our lives forever and always take it in stride," says Academy Award-nominated production designer KK Barrett.
