This entry is an excerpt from the script of Lawrence Lek’s first feature-length film, AIDOL. The film is a CGI fantasy that forms the sequel to his acclaimed film Geomancer (2017). Deploying 3D rendering and video gaming software, AIDOL tells the story of Diva—a fading superstar preparing for a comeback performance at the 2065 eSports Olympics—and Geo, an AI with artistic yearnings. This is a world dominated by the Farsight Corporation, an AI conglomerate whose services have created a postwork society and a corresponding appetite for perpetual entertainment. In this extract from the script, taken from halfway through the film, Diva attempts to persuade the AI songwriter Geomancer to compose her new hit.
