SPAF - TRANSHUMANISM
September 2024
We are looking for performances, plays, installations and interventions to exhibit in our second edition of SPAF - Street Performing Arts Festival in Aarhus.
Our festival intesects art with science and education.
In this edition we wonder about what it means to be transhuman.
"We know what we are but know not what we might be" - Shakespeare
Technology inhaces human capabilities and reshapes our reality. We live in times were money has moved from paper to digital, biology has the power to interviene life creation and AI is "pervasive and touches nearly every aspect of modern life" , quoting the words of ChatGPT .
Do you have anything to showcase that reflects on this topic?
