This research collaborates with artists from the US, Germany, England, South Korea, and Ukraine, including artworks by non-binary & BIPOC artists. The creatures presented are fusions of their creators, whose artworks dig into tech and cultural investigations on psychology and biopolitics.
STORY
Nearly six decades ago, in 2001, a group of tech elites (known as “Dr. Trust”) founded NeuBi Solutions and set up “Posthuman Island”– a research center underneath an island in the Philippines. In 2037, a group of human volunteers isolated themselves (with one-way online access), and repeatedly mutated using beta quantum evolution technology. Twenty-three years later, a posthuman anthropologist reveals the physiological, psychological, and technological development in these beings and uncovers the reason why they must be protected.
SHOW
The show comprises 20 visual artworks (video, still images, gifs), five original audio compositions, and an accompanying narrative story that weaves it all together.
