Re-Invocation follows workshops between Jonathan Armour and ‘Golf’ Thanupon Yindee at the Studio 88’s Gender Fluid Residency in May/June 2024, but opens the experience to a wider group of participants.
Here, each person was exploring their response to other (digital) people in scenarios often not possible in the physical/biological world – a reflection on how our existence is becoming hybrid.
“Our social and sexual lives are harbingers of an increasingly digital, dematerialised future, in which identity is a construct rather than an accident of birth. It’s a transhuman era.
…the growing embrace of all things trans, or liminal, is part of a larger story of Homo Sapiens in transition. We’re a transhuman species that’s set to become increasingly trans gender, trans race, trans body.
…we’re heading for a future that is post-biological: a world in which our minds and
bodies are digital, our experiences are virtual. We could be whatever we want. We could change our bodies in a blink.”
-Elise Bohan – senior research scholar at University of Oxford’s Future of Humanity Institute.
