Aaron Marcus, The Past 100 Years of the Future, Page 99 Also from 1999 is eXistenz, directed by David Cronenberg. The film is unsual in that it treats the world of video games. The HCI aspects are also memorable, featuring biomorphic technology, in fact, bloody technology, in which parts of devices are built from animal tissues and bones. No film until this one had shown such biomorphic technology. One memorable scene featues a hero assembling a gun from the plate of food served to him, using teeth as bullets. 99
Aaron Marcus, The Past 100 Years of the Future, Page 100 Figures: Scenes from eXistenz, 1999. Figure: Scene from eXistenz, 1999 The movie shows unusual, intriguing, and even startlingly innovative HCI scenes in which equipment has an organic, biomorphic “form factor.” The HCI equipment has a combination of “ick” quality and gruesome appeal, somewhat like the nature of bloody highway accidens that cause drive-by traffic to slow down so drivers can gawk and experience empathy, sorrow, and/or schadenfreude.
