Today, the boundaries between technology and humans are blurring. Technology becomes part of ourselves as the extension of the human body. There is no doubt that technology amplifies our abilities, but at the same time, we are also adapted to the logic and rules embedded in these tools and technologies. Through the lens of speculative design and posthumanism, this project critiques about the traditional humanistic sense of the "human" and its instrumentalized view of the "nonhuman" and speculate our possible relationship with artificial intelligence and its impact on creativity.
Heavily influenced by the theory of speculative design and posthumanism, the project aims at providing new perspectives towards the discussion of human-machine relationship and especially its influence to the creative world.
