New Romance – art and the posthuman brings together artists from Australia and Korea whose works encourage us to ask what it means to be human today and what it might mean in the future. Drawing inspiration from science fiction, robotics, biotechnology, consumer products and social media they offer experiences that raise questions about the idea of the posthuman, a concept that signals new understandings of humanity and a breakdown of boundaries between what we think of as natural and artificial.
The thread linking these diverse artworks is an exploration of new kinds of encounters, not only among connected humans but also between so called ‘intelligent’ objects, plants, animals, and all manner of hybrid entities.
