Arrangementsbeskrivelse
If a person is born without a leg or loses it by accident, she should have a prosthetic, no doubt.
If a person is born colorblind, it’s ok for him to implant an antenna in his head that would allow him to see colors, but not more colors and better than you and me.
If a healthy and thoroughly “normal” person wishes to enhance his memory or intellectual capacity with drugs or genetic manipulation……..?
The merging of man and machine has always caused debate – also today where technology actually allows us to transcend the limits and become more than human – if we would only allow it.
Come test and challenge your believes, assumptions, fears, fascination, knowledge and ignorance about new technology, so-called human enhancement and what it means to be human in the age of cyber technology.
You will meet in-house philosopher in Spinderihallerne Rasmus Haue Bentsen and Costin Benescu, a curious explorer of new technology, Virtual Reality Artist, Kitbasher and Designer of mechs, cyborgs and other weird creatures.
Main language will be English and the atmosphere informal with the use of very old human technologies such as dialogue, empathy and humor to “nail” the dilemmas involved.
Everybody most welcome – disabled, enabled, super-humans, cyborgs…..
Free entrance, cookies and human enhancements such as tea and coffee.
