metablog roundup [1]

Many blogs are firing with ideas- if you have not yet checked them out, use the links on this page to see what everyone is up to.

Alix likes robots. Ben is looking at cloning and its impact on identity. Cecily has started researching surreal characters. Ideas on everyday posthumans are starting to appear on Dan's blog. Gerard is questioning his humanity.

Gina has found a great link on reality and perception. For another screening of visual references (ie. animation and film) see Nina's collection of links. Has Sunny considered that the primary function of humans is simply to pass on DNA? Xi has posted some great character designs.

Look forward to seeing all the storyboards soon...
