Departure

Re-thinking the human in times of technological extensions and possible modifications: Can our behaviors be reduced to algorithms? Can our bodies be upgraded with nonorganic integrations? Can sentience itself be manufactured in a lab?  

The Field Exploration starts off from Ani Liu’s artwork Untitled (a search for ghosts in the meatn machine) that comprises nine sculptures that examine personhood from anatomical, psychological, genetic, biochemical, behavioral, algorithmic, personal narrative and memory. Each sculpture represents one specific feature that distinguishes us as a species and aims at confronting us (humans) with being quantifiable. The field journey invites you to explore human hybridity within the city of Berlin. Now make yourself ready to start this Exploration - and look inward to then look outward!
