Ergo Proxy


ACAMM's September issue features a semi animated version of Ergo Proxy, a a fusion of 2D digital cell animation, 3D computer modeling, and special digital effects. It will be just like browsing your usual PSP magazines, however this time, instead of the usual news and updates, you'll be treated to sensational anime style graphics and amazing storyline.

Its creator Dai Sato in an interview described as follows: "It is set in the future. A group of robots become infected with something called the Cogito virus, and become aware of their own existence. So these robots, which had been tools of humans, decide to go on an adventure to search for themselves. They have to decide whether the virus that infected them created their identity, or whether they gained their identity through their travels. This question is meant to represent our own debate over whether we become who we are because of our environment, or because of things that are inherent in us. The robots are all named after philosophers: Derrida and Lacan and Husserl."

Scroll fast enough and you actually make the pictures come to life. Clever, clever.

Cogito.... I think.



From mathematician-philosopher Rene Descartes' commonly attributed quote, "Cogito Ergo Sum" (I think, therefore I am.)



What they miss, if I remember correctly, is that the whole quote is supposed to be read as "Cogito ergo sum res cogitans." (I think, therefore I am a thinking being.)



That being said, it would have been safer to say that, upon catching the virus, they had already gained their identity as they had acquired the ability to think and not simply calculate. Looking at the entire quote of Descartes... that can also mean that Dai Sato's second idea will also hold true: They are who they are at present, but their identities as beings will grow and develop through the new experiences they will acquire.
