The word “technology” originates from Ancient Greek: techne and logia, or “technologia,” the study of techniques and methods. If this myth about one’s other half and technology appear entirely unrelated, one may perhaps find their connection in the revelatory words of Nam June Paik, the father of video art: “Our life is half natural and half technological. Half-and-half is good. You cannot deny that high-tech is progress. We need it for jobs. Yet if you make only high-tech, you make war. So we must have a strong human element to keep modesty and natural life.” Through media art, people envisage the future to explore the apprehensions and motivations of co-existing with technology. Like a mirror, AI lets us scrutinize our inner demons as we consider our next steps forward. May science be kind and all forms of life co-exist in peace. www.microwavefest.net
