“TRANSHUMANISM: What future do we want? What must we do to get there?”

In February, LUXUO featured Joanna Grochowska’s TRANSHUMANISM exhibition which took place earlier this year at the Galerie Verbeeck – Van Dyck in Antwerp, Belgium. Now she is unveiling her new book entitled “TRANSHUMANISM”. The book is the artist’s monography and features excerpts from Raymond Kurzweil’s work “The Singularity is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology” alongside Stefan Lorenz Sorgner’s work “Nietzsche, the Overhuman and Transhumanism”.

“TRANSHUMANISM: What future do we want? What must we do to get there?”

Joanna Grochowska’s work is an affirmation of transhumanist philosophy, worldview, and movement. The artist integrates the concepts of human enhancement via technologies as they explore the new aesthetics of the future. Her work of merging humans and technology to denote hybrid forms is more than an artful take on the dystopian future of artificial intelligence. The purposefully incongruous, distorted, and slightly disturbing imagery is intended to make the viewer stop, think, and question perceptions of pleasure, pain and beauty.

“TRANSHUMANISM: What future do we want? What must we do to get there?”

Similar to her previous exhibition, the book’s subtitle also shares the exhibition’s motto of “What Future Do We Want? What Must We Do To Get There?”, which is a quote from Klaus Schwab’s “The Great Narrative: For a Better Future”. 

The book is available for purchase on Snap Collective which is an innovative publishing concept that has curated showrooms worldwide including in Copenhagen’s Royal Danish Library.
