Digital Creatures
“At the beginning of this 21st century, we’re all progressively mutating into “digital creatures”. Our jobs, our friendships, our emotions, our art… everything takes place, and more and more so, in the digital realm.
However, the most fascinating element about digital technology is precisely that it’s full impact hasn’t arrived… yet. As the capacity of our processors increases at an exponential rate, so do our capacities as human beings – to create, to destroy, to achieve, and to fail. Heaven and smoke.
And in this digital realm, our creations will be different. Our art will be different. Our museums and the way we use our imagination to visualize our dreams will be different.
Because what is crucial in the global technological discontinuity is our humanity. Without it, everything else lacks meaning”.
