Bring the feeling of a stunning mansion from the new Ex Machina thriller withJackson PollockEx Machina is a 2015 Britishscience fiction thriller film writtenand directed by Alex Garland,marking his directorial debut. ExMachina tells the story of aprogrammer Caleb who is invitedby his employer Nathan toadminister the Turing test to anandroid with artificial intelligence.The film flourishes withphilosophical themes revolvingaround the idea of playing Godwith the inevitable creation ofArtificial Intelligence (AI).

Ex Machina works as a study of what it means to be conscious/human. In one of thefilms most memorable scenes, two main characters examine a drip painting by Pollock.

They articulate how the artist made his handgo where it wanted but didnt plan his everymove. The piece of art would never havecome to be if you preplanned every stroke.Consciousness exists in the gap betweenrandomness and deliberated action, so aslong as the AI is programed to do automaticactions, it can never be regarded as trulyconscious.No. 5, 1948 is a Museum of Art byJackson Pollock, an American painter

known for his contributions to the abstract expressionist movement. The painting wasdone on an 8 x 4 (2.4m x 1.2m) sheet of fiberboard, with thick amounts of brown andyellow paint drizzled on top of it, forming a nest-like appearance.

Surely, the painting we observe in ExMachina is a replica because the artwork werespeaking about today was sold at Sothebysauctionin November 2006 for a price of $140million. The painting used to be the mostexpensive ever sold till 2011.

Pollock originally sold it for $1500 to theAbstractionist artist/collector Alfonso A.Ossorio, but it was damaged during delivery.Pollock thought he could patch it up withoutOssorio noticing the difference, but his patrondid indeed notice. Pollock repaired the damage

to the painting by completely altering the original, in contrast to how other artworks arerepaired.

No. 5 brought a whole new influence to abstract expressionism. Pollock spread hiscanvases on the floor, dribbled paint, sand and broken glass on them, smeared andscratched them, named them with numbers. He wanted people to focus on the paintingand feel what it brought to them. No. 5 is considered to be a valuable piece in the worldand brought Pollock to the ranks of Americas greatest artists.To keep the memories of the movie, WahooArt.com offers a wonderful opportunity forall the fans.
