Itwas co-written by Morgan Lloyd Malcolm and Benji Walters and based on the book Damage by Josephine Hart. The novel was adapted into the 1992 film Damage starring Juliette Binoche, Miranda Richardson and Jeremy Irons. Richardson's performance garnered her the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role.[4] Glenn Leyburn and Lisa Barros D'Sa were directors on the series. Filming locations included a set at Twickenham Film Studios.[5]

I was blown away by the first episode of Westworld, and now it's time to analyze it obsessively on Ars Technica's podcast Decrypted. Previously, we plumbed the depths of Mr. Robot, and now we're ready for a show with actual robots.

Further ReadingWestworld is the most promising new science fiction series of the season In our first episode, I'm joined by award-winning science fiction author Charlie Jane Anders, who co-founded io9 with me back in the day. We disagree about a lot of things, but not this show. Our conversation covers the major themes and conspiracies introduced in this episode and explores where Westworld seems to be headed this season.

Topics discussed: how memory is key to human identity (and robot identity), whether Westworld can be the next Game of Thrones (maaaaaybe?), Anthony Hopkins (annoying or not?), Ed Harris (holy crap scary), the big reveal (a nice twist), Westerns and backstage musicals (key to thinking about the story), the future of game design (obviously), and why Bernard makes the Professor/Mr. Abernathy cry. Also: what's up with all the flies?

I'll be analyzing, debating, and dissecting Westworld every week with a different guest, and we'll post the podcast on Tuesdays. The episodes air on Sunday, so you have plenty of time to watch before we get into major spoilers. Yes, there are spoilers. Listen when you're ready!

Undisciplined. Crafting Conversations is a podcast developed by Veronika Murrikov in collaboration with Current Obsession. This audio series documents bold and curious transdisciplinary art/craft practices.

Arata Fuchi is an accomplished Japanese jewellery artist living and working in Florence, Italy. He has recently presented a solo exhibition at Museo Bellini during FJW. His work receives inspiration from the Japanese sense of beauty, which to him means beauty as a form that only nature can create. Fuchi is a master of various traditional techniques in which he has adapted in his own way, with pieces included in various private and public jewellery collections all over the world.

I work in a shared studio space called Officine Nora in the Santo Spirito neighbourhood of Florence, where many of the traditional craft botteghe remain. There are six of us from all over the world, and there we are able to share experiences and help each other if need be. We also have some of our pieces on display and are open to the public. Each of us is specialized in different jewellery techniques.
