more-than-human — perspectives on technology and futurity critically analyse from various perspectives not only the use of technology as a capitalist device and tool but also its impact on human existence. Reflecting on the complex relationship between these two realms, the films explore the interchangeability between the natural and the artificial, the robotic and the organic, and the tensions that arise from these processes.
Over the past two decades, the radical transformation and/or transcendence of the human condition through technology have given rise to profound ethical and philosophical enquiries. From a theoretical standpoint, this involves contemplating the advantages and risks associated with personal identity, emerging forms of otherness, equality and social justice, death and immortality, as well as religion and the meaning of life. From a practical perspective, artificial intelligence and human-machine hybridisation raise ethical concerns pertaining to physical, cognitive, and moral enhancement, as well as issues related to defence and security.
God, human, or more-than-human? A future of technological transcendence through biohacking, cognitive optimisation, and other biomedical technologies aims at overcoming the physical dimension—the expansion and preservation of consciousness into a new biological-artificial body. Technology operates as a promise of omnipresence, omnipotence, and omniscience: in other words, immortality.
