Film Synopsis

​​“Biogeneticist Rosetta Stone downloads her own DNA into an experimental A.I. program, creating a trio of cyborgian clones. The clones’ survival depends on injections of male Y chroma, only found in sperm. Ruby, one of the clones, ventures out and seduces men to secure their survival.” - Mubi

Exposure presents "Teknoerotica"

A five-film series exploring how technology reshapes desire, intimacy, and the human body in an era mediated by artificial intelligence, surveillance, and cybernetics. As the boundary between human and machine blurs, how is technology regulated and exploited to commodify sexual fantasy and digital debauchery, and desolation? How far can the limits of human flesh be pushed when the body adapts to synthetic realities, challenging traditional notions of pleasure and pain?

Through the lens of speculative fiction, cyber-surrealism, and techno-eroticism, this series presents visions both seductive and unsettling. Featuring David Cronenberg’s Crimes of the Future (2022), Kathryn Bigelow’s Strange Days (1995), Lynn Hershman Leeson’s Teknolust (2002), Olivier Assayas’ Demonlover (2002), and Bertrand Bonello’s The Beast (2023), these films reflects the anxieties of their time in how technology amplifies and distorts sexuality, while speaking to a present where these fears feel less speculative than immediate.
