"Human-Machine Co-Creation" explores the transformative interplay between humans and technology in a rapidly evolving world. From the integration of AI into daily life to its profound implications for identity, emotion, and society, this exhibition reimagines the boundaries of creativity and collaboration in a "post-human" era. It is a journey that blurs the lines between human and machine, individual and collective, present and future.
The term "post-human" reflects a world where human and technological boundaries dissolve, fostering new forms of interaction and coexistence. This concept invites reflection on the ethical, emotional, and social dimensions of this shift, where technologies become both tools and collaborators in creative processes. Drawing on diverse artistic perspectives, the exhibition highlights the tension and harmony in these evolving relationships.
Through thought-provoking works in digital art, interactive installations, and human-computer interfaces, the exhibition challenges viewers to reconsider their role in a future shaped by human-machine collaboration and conflict.
