Descender is a science fiction comic by Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen published by Image Comics in 2015. The story follows a young android, TIM-21, trying to survive endless bounty hunters in a universe that has outlawed all robotics and artificial intelligence.. The setup is that ten years in the past, planet-sized robots appeared out of nowhere, causing destruction, so anti-robot fanaticism spread, resulting in the culling of all artificial intelligence and robotic life. Now young android named TIM-21 wakes up to discover that he is not only one of the last robots in existence but also the most wanted being in the universe. And is being hunted.
The new film The Creator, out later this year, is written and directed by Gareth Edwards, tells of a future war between humans and artificial intelligence. Ten years after AI attacked humanity in a catastrophic way, Joshua, grieving the disappearance of his wife, is recruited among others to hunt down the architect of advanced AI and his weapon, an AI in the form of a young child. In a fashion that some may be led to draw comparisons.
Separated At Birth used to be called Swipe File, in which we present two or more images that resemble each other to some degree. They may be homages, parodies, ironic appropriations, coincidences, or works of the lightbox. We trust you, the reader, to make that judgment yourself. If you are unable to do so, we ask that you please return your eyes to their maker before any further damage is done. Separated At Borth doesn’t judge; it is interested more in the process of creation, how work influences other work, how new work comes from old, and sometimes how the same ideas emerge simultaneously as if their time has just come. The Swipe File was named after the advertising industry habit where writers and artists collect images and lines they admire to inspire them in their work. It was swiped from the Comic Journal, who originally ran a similar column and the now-defunct Swipe Of The Week website, but Separated At Birth is considered a less antagonistic title.
