Conceptual Exploration of Posthumans

CONCEPTUAL EXPLORATION OF POSTHUMANS

Conceptual Project

Duration: 4 Months

Context

The project was research through design for the Visual Culture module I had where I was looking at how the Cyborg reflects the connection between humanity, technology and Christianity in popular culture movies and games. A surprising finding was that despite the idea of posthumans being widespread among the mass public, cultural artefacts do not depict well the academic side of it, making ordinary people have a wrong perception of it.

Outcome

FutureOfHumanity is an interactive graphic design piece, envisioned to be a part of an online exhibition targeting the mass audience. By tapping on already existing knowledge from popular culture posthuman figures in the viewer, it aims to clarify the topic and provide a foundation for developing further knowledge around these current-day issues.
