The Raw Data Diet, All Consuming Bodies and the Shape of Things to Come
ART+TECHNOLOGY LECTURE SERIES
Lynn Hershman has always been attracted to digital tools and cinematic metaphors that reflect our time, such as privacy in an era of surveillance, personal identity in a time of pervasive manipulation. The 21st century's technologies - genetics, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology and robotics - have opened a Pandora's box that will affect the destiny of the entire human race. In an era of digital and human biological sampling, our relationship to computer-based virtual life forms that are autonomous and self-replicating will shape the fate of our species.
