The Post-It Wall in Ex Machina was one of the inspirations for My Storyteller Consciousness.

As writer and director Alex Garland explained,

The Post-It notes…the idea behind that was a kind of juxtaposition…the film has many. You’ve got this very large and wild outdoor space and then this extremely claustrophobic, overly controlled interior space—one of them made by nature, the other made by man. What you have in the film is a lot of digital stuff, including a wave of artificial intelligence that has been coded into a machine. The Post-It notes are not digital, they’re scrolled by hand, they’re jammed onto the wall in a fluid map-like pattern that only the person who’s sticking the notes on the wall can understand. So that was a visual juxtaposition of the digital and the analog.
