It's not a science fiction movie, but it has glimpses of a future that only seems to exist in Hollywood scripts.

As we witness the emergence of artificial intelligence, we need to understand where the balance lies between tool and substitute, between friend and foe, between vanguard and ethics. It is in this middle ground that the following pages are designed: between a scenario generated by technology and a make-up designed by human hands; between a background made of bits and bytes and a model in the flesh and blood; between an environment that responds to commands and a final result that is the consequence of the creativity that is intrinsic to us. One that combines the advantages of technology with the beauty of technique.
