Young creatives

What does it mean to be human?       
Can technology be used to replicate the pheromone communication of ant colonies?                
Can we use technology to mimic the camouflage abilities of chameleons?                    
Can movement be used as a language, similar to the waggle dance of honey bees?        

Inspired by Life Rewired, a collection of young creatives from our Barbican Young Creatives and BA Performance and Creative Enterprise will respond to these questions to explore what it means to be human when technology is changing everything.

Mentored by visual artist Antonio Roberts and in collaboration with four guest artists, the group will create new digital work that explores how scientific and technological advances could allow artists to become ‘more human’ by heightening our natural and creative instincts.  As a group they will explore technological impact on sound, movement, language and aesthetics and share their findings through new imaginative works.
