In the image and likeness: machine, man, and imaginaries in circulation 225 nations: the man who imagines the machine, the machine that imagines the man, and the imaginary in co-creation. Thus, we revisit the biblical metaphor of humans made in the image and likeness of God to provoke, as Kamper (2001) did, thoughts on the image and imaginaries revolving around the man-machine relationship. 2. Media imaginaries in circulation and fantasy Scene 1: Developed during an experiment, a machine with quasi-human features (Figure 01) develops abilities and eventually stops playing the role for which it was designed. The creature rebels against its creator and takes control over them, exerting and desiring power. Likewise, this autonomous, pro- grammed machine starts to have feelings and resemble more and more human features, getting contours that allow questions to arise about the extent to which love and friendship can be taught, learned, and absorbed. Meanwhile, the city, now dominated by machines, needs protection. Figure 01 – Billboard from the movie Ex-Machina
