Hybrid by Nature: Human.Machine.Interaction is an online exhibition showcasing the works of 13 international artists on the convergence between human and machine in art. It looks at how machine learning, algorithms and intelligent robots are increasingly determining our everyday lives. The distinction between humans and technical systems is becoming more and more blurred. This transformative development has the potential to dramatically change all aspects of life and society as a whole in the near future. “Posthumanism” and “Transhumanism”, which actively promotes human enhancement, challenge our image of what it means to be human.
 
The conference accompanying the online exhibition will introduce the artists and works of the exhibition in more detail and will focus on specific aspects raised and addressed in the works: the blurred boundaries between real and virtual spaces, the increasing use of Artificial Intelligence and our interactions with these algorithmic systems, and the manifold new spaces of the digital metaverse.
 
The online exhibition website is launched on October 7 (Thu) at 7.30pm HKT. The opening is the first day of the online conference, October 7 (Thu) – 10 (Sun). Please register for the online conference - zoom webinar to get your personal zoom link. Registration
