Autopoiesis Crosses the Human-Machine Boundary——A Brief Analysis of the NPC Image in the Film-Game Integration Movie

Abstract

In recent years, with the development of popular culture and digital technology, there has been a new trend of fusion between online games and film art. In movies themed on popular games, some NPC images have developed self-awareness with the operation of artificial intelligence systems, they own the information body and the self-generating system, regarding human player as the mirror to self-identify and become a channel between the virtual and real worlds. These images play an important role in the narration, some of them resist system instructions in the climax of the story, not only break the original rules of the game, but also evolve new life forms, and challenge the authority of the traditional human-machine boundary for the acquisition of emotion, memory and thinking. The film's vivid interpretation of the NPC autogenesis process enriches the characters and expands the meaning of the theme, at the same time, it allows us to reflect on the contradictions and conflicts between humans, machines and other species from the perspective of virtual life, provides some inspiring opinions on how to meet the unknown posthuman future.
