In the increasingly digitalized world we live in, the metaverse can now create the reality of our lives. How will transhumanism affect the continuation of the human race? The Holy Temple offers one possible scenario to this question. A temple where babies are produced in a future where the continuation of humanity is considered sacred. What do you think, very impossible, right? In direct proportion to the “FutuRetro” theme by Adaf, “The Holy Temple” aims to emphasize the future reality of humanity’s idea of reaching a better and more beautiful life with technology. Referring to the Altered Carbon Series, the work portrays a blessed future scenario in which humans reproduce/reproduce over and over again. The artwork -2952*2952 pixels- has been created using the Cinema 4D program in 2022.
