About the Book
I find the current world we live in fascinating. We are sitting on the axis of our material past and the endless possibilities of a virtual and technology-fuelled future.
The artist and historian in me is obsessed by the concept of diachronic and how language and culture evolves through time. From dia- ‘through’ + Greek khronos ‘time’ + -ic.
My Attest you are human art series looks for the humorous, profound and ironic at the point in human evolution where we have to confirm our humanity to machines.
In the latest from the series I asked visitors to the November Other Art Fair, Brooklyn, New York, 2019 to participate in an on and offline work of performance art and attest their humanity.
The book records their 211 attestations. The personal, profound and sometimes humorous thoughts on what it means to be human in the age of RoBots.
With thanks to the many good people of Brooklyn who participated.
