Thank you for your interest in the international symposium, Superhumanity: Post-Labor, Psychopathology, Plasticity. The application is closed early due to your enthusiastic participation. If there is a cancellation in advance, we will contact individually.
The National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art is pleased to present Superhumanity: Post-Labor, Psychopathology, Plasticity, an international symposium co-organized with the e-flux Architecture. The symposium consists of lectures and discussions of professionals in the field of architecture, art, design, media, philosophy and science.
Superhumanity aims to explore and challenge our understanding of “design” by probing the idea that we are and always have been continuously reshaped by the artifacts we shape, to which we ask: who designed the lives we live today? What are the forms of life we inhabit, and what new forms are currently being designed? Where are the sites, and what are the techniques, to design others?
Please R.S.V.P., as the symposium seats will be reserved first come, first served basis. MMCA and e-flux Architecture look forward for your active participation.
