Technoculture. Finding our way in the terra incognita
Description
Technological innovations are penetrating ever more deeply into the substance of society-faster, in fact, than people can assimilate them. As ethical dilemmas and unforeseen consequences pile up, will techno-enthusiasts succeed in weaving a net that will ultimately trap us all? Following a concise summary of Technoscience, this disturbing program addresses diverse topics such as virtual reality, cybernetics, eugenics, cloning, parallels between technological and Christian views of the body, similarities between Nazi experiments and current technology, and the role of artists in defining a grim future that may prove to be more prison than paradise.
