The article discusses how cybernetic models of learning shape the development of filmic means in Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. I first outline the historical conditions that allowed for an adaption of scientific knowledge in film: auteur cinema, the space race, and the economic crisis of Hollywood studios. Then I introduce the major principles of this cybernetic model of learning, as it is palpable in the film. In this model, intelligence is simultaneously viewed as logical process inside a machine and as non-predictable behavior of a machine. When human and machine intelligence are in competition with each other, this twofold model serves as culmination point and interpretative cue for the film as a whole. In this interpretation, every signal of the monolith instigates new filmic means, which blur the boundaries between on-screen and off-screen vision, sound, and speech. As filmic adaption, the utopian vision of cybernetic intelligence thus portrays the search for eternal life.
