Join us in the Wexner Center’s Film/Video Theater for Lynn Hershman Leeson’s Teknolust—a Tilda Swinton showcase that pioneering scholar and critic B. Ruby Rich called “the hippest cyber-fi film ever!”
Swinton stars in Teknolust as Rosetta Stone, a geneticist who creates a formula allowing her to place her DNA into her own cyborg creations. Stone successfully breeds three Self Replicating Automatons that look human (and exactly like Tilda Swinton) but are in fact part machine. Needing male chromosomes to survive, the oldest cyborg goes out into the world to collect sperm, but unwittingly leaves the “donors” with unintended consequences. Teknolust was the first feature film shot on 24 frames-per-second Hi-Def with HD graphic conversion. (82 mins., DCP)
