SPES
The evolution of science and technology and the increasingly prominent cultural context of posthumanism have imperceptibly changed people's thinking and aesthetic habits and also provided an opportunity for human imagination to step into reality from science fiction. Human's dependence on and longing for advanced science and technology give rise to the mutual construction and training of the human-machine relationship and also the profound boundary game of hybridity: technology as an artificial limb continues to extend various capabilities of humans, and the birth of cyborg makes the boundary between human and non-human ambiguous. Based on this concern, the project constructed an industrial prosthetic store from a posthumanist perspective. Consumers can buy parts that painlessly and easily replace their aging body parts. There is also an experimental video of the shop assistant-me, making and selling the implants. I hope to use this project to help the audience avoid the alienation of human nature in the exploration of their limitation, hold broader respect for the nature of life, and explore the way of human-computer compromise based on harmony.
