Algo-Humans

The artwork with the help of these three distinct actors tries to urge viewers to rethink the definition of ‘human’, ‘life’, and ‘happiness’, and questions what we should do to move to a better future.

It is said that not too far in the future, human beings will be entrusting many of their decisions to AI, which will then supersede human intelligence. The advent of ‘singularity’ will potentially usher in enormous changes to our society and lifestyles. The development of blockchain technology looks set to build new levels of trust and value into our social systems, while advances in biotechnology will have a major impact on food, medicine, and the environment. It is also possible that one day, we humans will be able to extend our physical forms.

These technological developments and the concomitant changes in outlook overturn previously-accepted notions of society and what it is to be human.
