Post Human

An accumulation of limbs, action, meaning and connectivity that transgresses the limitations of how an individual occupies space and time: we are everywhere at once, simultaneously and instantaneously. That is what it means to be post-human in the 21st century… In the 21st century, even our weapons are situated in the third space: our drones, our tele-commandos, our missile systems, and our tele-present robots are all designed to extend the human reach via the network… Yes, in this age of connectivity, there is no longer any doubt we are all cyborgs, for without our metaphoric prosthetic limb we are lost, disconnected from the next text or phone call. Without a prosthetic limb that extends our sense of belonging – even becoming in the third space – we feel alienated, separated, from humanity’s teeming, networked activity… It seems we are moving at such blinding speed in today’s technological culture that it may no longer be impossible to even determine what it means to be human… The post-human implications of the Artist PATCHED into the third space of the NETWORKED STUDIO. The extended REACH… Poetics, Post-human, Manipulations.
