Both computer scientists and philosophers are debating this question. The Star Trek: The Next Generation episode\, “The Measure of a Man”\, wrestles with the issue of whether or not the character Lt. Commander Data\, an artificial life form\, deserves the respect we traditionally reserve for human beings. \nComputer scientist Dr. Keith Miller and philosophy professor Dr. Gualtiero Piccinini\, both from UMSL\, will explore this episode and the questions it raises. Dr. Miller will appear via a telepresence robot.   \nTell me more about actor and visual effects artist Wyatt Weed\nAlso a filmmaker\, Wyatt Weed appeared as a Rutian police officer in the Star Trek: The Next Generation third season episode “The High Ground”. He also worked as a visual effects artist on the Caretaker’s array miniature for the Star Trek: Voyager pilot. Other visual effects credits include: Flight of the Intruder (1991)\, the science fiction thriller Fortress(1992)\, the horror film Lord of Illusions (1995)\, the science fiction comedy Muppets from Space (1999)\, and the action sequel Mission: Impossible II (2000). Weed is also a director. His project Shadowland\, a horror thriller\, was released in 2010.  \nHow does First Fridays’ Trivia work?\nTo play you can register your team or as an individual at The Loft. We can accommodate up to 15 teams. There will be five rounds of trivia\, with five questions each round. Prizes for the winners of each round!  \nHow can I participate in the Star Trek Fashion Show? \nGo to Center Stage\, on the lower level of the main building\, and sign-up on the sign-up sheet. You will then be asked to fill out a short form\, briefly describing your costume and how you want to be introduced. The Star Trek Fashion Show will take place at 8:30pm at Center Stage.  \nHow do I get tickets for the episodes and movie?\nFree tickets are available on a first-come\, first-served basis at any box office\, beginning at 6pm.
