FUTURE FRAMES: HER

ABOUT THE EVENT

What happens when artificial intelligence stops being a tool and starts becoming a relationship?

Join Tech Bloc and The Creative Futures for the next installment of Future Frames, our ongoing movie night series exploring technology, creativity, and culture through iconic films.

This month we're screening Her, Spike Jonze's Academy Award-winning film starring Joaquin Phoenix and Scarlett Johansson.

Released in 2013, Her imagined a world where people form meaningful emotional relationships with AI. Today, many of its ideas feel remarkably familiar—from voice-first AI assistants and conversational AI to personalized digital companions and AI-as-a-service.

Following the film, we'll explore questions that are no longer science fiction:

• How is AI changing the way we communicate?
• Can technology replace human connection?
• What does creativity look like in an AI-powered world?
• How do we design technology that keeps humanity at the center?

Whether you're a founder, designer, developer, artist, entrepreneur, or simply curious about where AI is taking us, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

• Networking with founders, creatives, and technologists
