ABOUT

In “The Human Hum,” I construct speculative scenarios in the form of immersive media such as installations, films, performances, and rituals. These fictions deal with changes in the human mind, soul, body, and non-human beings through today’s new technologies such as synthetic biology or human-machine interfaces. They are what-if scenarios that often appear as psychological and physical states and serve as metaphors for the ideological frameworks of today’s world. These hegemonic narratives, such as capitalism and technoutopianism, are embedded in the functioning of our technological devices and shape how we interact with them. I attempt to uncover their inherent ethics through counterintuitive thinking, from the future to the present, using the concept of the oracle. My aim is to ask how we want to define ourselves today in the face of radical technological transformations.
