![]() I remember Lana telling me about this documentary she saw once. Maybe there are green wires sticking out of everything, but they’re not all legitimately designed to represent something.įA: They’ve helped with my insecurities - “I have never done nudity before, I’ve never been in a sex scene before, I can’t,” all these negative things come into my head. ![]() So they’re looking at hacking as symbolism. People are more isolated, even though we’re so connected. When we first got onto the set, all this paraphernalia was lying around, and we would pick things up and go, “What are we supposed to do? What do you do with this to make it work?” They’d have advisors on set to say, “What you want to do for this section to look legit is dah dah dah dah dah.” But I think their main point with technology in the show is just trying to get this paradox across of how reliant we are on machines, and how we are more connected than we ever have been, and apparently loneliness is on the rise right now. So they have a great understanding about that side of it. They are sci-fi kids, from comic book culture, so they have all that going on. I recently sat down with Clayton and Agyeman in New York to talk about hacker stories, getting over on-screen insecurities, and the “group effort” of playing a character consistently around the world.įreema Agyeman: Well, one of the strengths of the show is, they do look at so many contemporary issues, and of all the themes and genres, technology is very much up there. But those personal issues are less of a focus in season 2, as the sensates increasingly learn to use their powers together, and Nomi and Amanita focus on evading the police and digging into BPO’s goals and undermining its activities. The storyline drew particular attention because Clayton is trans herself, as are two of Sense8’s creators, Matrix series writer-directors Lana and Lilly Wachowski. Her primary storyline revolved around transphobia and found family, as her mother and sister violently rejected her, and she found the support she needed in Amanita, their hacker friend Bug, and the sensate cluster. Like the other seven sensates, Nomi spent Sense8’s first season coming to terms with her sudden new emotional connection to a group of outsiders, while simultaneously struggling with her own personal issues.
