( the first lines are shaky, but not to the point of abstraction. out of three curves comes a tree shape. branches follow. she isn’t wary of being observed. bad skills aren’t inhuman. plenty of people learn to draw. it’s normal. it’s a very normal thing to do. )

( she doesn’t spend long sneaking looks at kelsey’s book. it’s pointless. ava’s gleaning snippets. fractions. better a fistful than a glance. )
What are you reading?

there are always eyes. the world is an oyster, and everyone eats the buffet with two hands. johanna isn’t uncomfortable ; in fact, a part of her flares. so much of her life was not in her own hands and dictated by others. when she can dictate others like this -–– just one, a whole room, any at all ––- there is a power in that. there is a little piece of her that is her own again. so laying on just her blanket in the park, aster nearby snoozing, shirt off and eyes closed, she can feel the taste of someone not even trying to be subtle. opening her eyes with a smirk, she looks over to the woman nearby.
❛ they made it legal couple years ago. free the nipple and all that shit. like what you see, perv ? ❜
( on being caught, she has nothing to hide. is it catching when she wasn’t evading? she’s been... noticed. acknowledged. her eyes move, only from johanna’s chest to her face. clavicle, jawline, mouth, teeth, gums, ears, cheeks, nose, brows, hair, eyes. then she wanders down again. to unfamiliar things. blind spots. foreign concepts. eyes, nose, chin, clavicle, shoulders, sternum, breasts, nipples, navel. )
I’m not a pervert.
( rather than a defence: a declaration. a statement of facts. johanna is wrong. that’s all. ava pushes her palms into the chair to right herself, letting the book teeter in her lap, confident that it won’t fall shut. repositioned, she leans her forearms on her knees and lets a contemplative tone trickle into her voice. )
I don’t know any women like you.

we know ava can make abstract art that even she doesn’t understand because she draws this and then asks caleb to tell her what it is (even if this scene pulls into question whether she thinks she’s drawing something that she’s never seen but does exist in caleb’s world OR whether she knows she’s drawing nonsense and wants caleb to draw meaning from it like an optical illusion that he can but she can’t solve)
and we know ava can make more conventional art like this (there’s actually a website in the ex machina marketing that recreates a session with ava where she’ll ‘draw’ u) and that it’s using the same style as her abstract art (kind of like low poly digital art lots of geometrical shapes lots of straight lines) but this is clearly an exact recreation of something she’s seen before:
but if she tried drawing curved lines and contours and shapes rather than just basically printing an image she’s seen before line by line would it be ~good?? would it look like a five year old did it?? would she even be ABLE to do that can ava hold a pen?? can ava write?? can ava print her name in times new roman but not write cursive
and also did she draw the garden while looking at it directly or did she pull that image from her mind?? what’s her ability for memory? do we assume she has photographic memory because she’s a robot or what?? do her memories fade or warp the image depending on what her focus was at the time the same way human memories do? can she visualize an image without having it in front of her? does she have the capacity to draw an imaginative composition or are her ONLY options for art a) totally abstract things even she doesn’t understand or b) an exact recreation of something she has seen/can see
preachin:
jesse doesn’t know what he got out of watching her look at herself other than a quiet sense of bemusement. you don’t gotta take something out of everything, but it feels sorta weird when there’s palpably nothing. ‘ you good? ’
he looks over his shoulder into the back of his car. the seats are all folded down, blankets piled thick. a guitar with two broken strings looks sorry buried under yesterday’s clothes. he looks back at her, his elbow propped on the halfway rolled down window.
‘ well, it ain’t anyone elses’. ’
( she’s good enough not to invent something about being good. her head swivels as if checking self-consciously in the car window after jesse asks. but she looks fine. it’s difficult to look anything else. ava makes the face women make when they want to affirm that they look nice but don’t want to sound conceited. tight-lipped. smiling, in a way. nodding. shy, always shy. her palm rests on the window, without leaving a handprint on the cold glass. )

I programmed her to be heterosexual. Just like you were programmed to be heterosexual.

No thank you. I don’t want to buy anything.
( she turns back to her laptop. he may have been implying something about ava’s usage of the restaurant wifi. )

“ ki - kid —- “ they wedge for a moment, heugh’s arms held aloft with his try to avoid drawing unnecessary contact upon her until she had passed, and he was free of their effort. weird. strong. alright. “ it was a joke. “
( she pops through the other side with not a stumble but manages to turn and face him clumsily, poorly handling something on her mind. yes and no. pros and cons. silence and speech. )
Many men are attracted to me. I didn’t know you weren’t.
( de-infantilizing. re-womanizing. close partners. telling him not to call her ‘kid’ would be too inviting, now. later. he’ll do it again, after all. )

( she feels justified in staring. it might not be the right thing to do but it happens. that’s what feeling is. rarely rational. seldom right. johanna must know it’s abnormal for a woman to walk around with a bare chest. ava knows it is. she wonders who it’s for. who benefits from this. whose eyes was johanna made for. under her wire mesh somewhere she feels a shame that does not or should not belong to her. )
“ last i looked it was — yep, it’s the twenty sixth. mistletoe’s lookin’ pretty impotent after christmas, slick. tough break. “
Oh. That’s terrible news. ( she tries slipping through the doorway they clearly won’t both fit in. )
