You have been waiting for your call. Pick up a phone from the Calling In gallery installation, to talk to yourself, saying whatever needs to be said. Which starting phrase do you intuitively choose for yourself, here and now? The past is speaking to the future in people’s hopes and fears right now. What will the future hear from the dial up hand held phones of the past? From the cell phones? Will they look back and hear “I love you” or “I’m sorry” or not be able to understand how history has unfolded? We meet the journey of new life with a question mark. (All while keeping the flame of humor fanned in our hearts and minds, as humor is human!)

The Future of Humanity Experience explores how technology is reshaping the human experience by blending digital and physical artworks from global artists into a tangible vision of the future. The experience highlights the potential for human enhancement, where the organic and synthetic not only complement one another but sometimes merge, illustrating how humanity can transcend its current boundaries.

Through diverse artistic perspectives, the show critically examines the risks, ethical dilemmas, and challenges posed by technological progress. This exploration is framed through three distinct lenses – Animasapiens, Transhumans, and Starborns – and offers an invitation to delve even deeper. Learn more here.
