</EXMACHINA>/:︎ ever-evolving technologies, dependence on global social networks, the development of AI are all but questioning the notion what it is left to be human. the virtual reality mask we wear on facebook or instagram, the idea that everything is interconnected - we are a pawn on a giant chessboard. dark corners of our urban utopia hide within them real monsters of pollution and expulsion. ︎ ︎ </EXMACHINA>/: is a new breed of exhuman. their automated smart reactions and calculated moves leave little room for the heart. drones of crowds are tweeting, shouting hard opinions - the voices of the virtual word are drowning the natural. we live in what seems to be an angrier world.︎
