“Homo technicus is a walking upright primate of the Hominidae family, living in symbiosis with machines. He has a strong desire to keep up with new technologies and digital devices. DNA analysis shows that Homo technicus appeared in the early twentieth century and today inhabits all continents. In 2023, its population is about 8 billion people.” The project explores the interaction between people and technology. Electronic devices are part of the daily life of modern man, he spends much of his time online to work, to be informed, to have fun. The boundaries between the real and the virtual are intertwined. The technologies behind virtual and augmented reality, hyper-connected environments, mechanical vision, artificial intelligence, computer-generated images, generative comparison networks are far more ingrained in our lives than we imagine.
