Drones with Desires

In collaboration with Department of Neuroscience - Erasmus MC

Breathe life into mechanical devices through altering their material substance

The focus of ‘Drones with desires’ is to breathe life into mechanical devices through altering their material substance. With an increased efficiency of modelling the brain for artificial intelligence or the introduction of mechanics within biomedical sciences, where are the boundaries of human-ness in a world full of integrated and invasive technologies? How might we respond to a machine that characterizes human behaviors through a reconstructed sensory nervous system?

This project will explore the thin line between natural and artifice, by creating a machine with inbuilt human memories.
