Immortality

Chenyu Zhou (CN)

This project looks at transhumanism as a quasi-religion. Although this idea might be considered extreme, some transhumanists believe firmly that technology can transfer human attributes to machines which can enhance human physical potential and even extend longevity.

I’am

Luís Graça (PT), Marta de Menezes (PT)

I’am uses immortal cell lines and skin transplants to show how we can bond with another, yet maintain a strong sense of identity. In I’am, a man and a woman don’t just assert their relationship and identity, but an artist and a scientist demonstrate the connection between their two disciplines while maintaining their uniqueness.
