In the era of artificial intelligence and automation, it is crucial to acknowledge that while technology is a potent force, it is the people behind it who shape the course of our world. CODAME has always centered around the exceptional individuals who bring our events and projects to life. From the awe-inspiring artists who craft captivating installations to the devoted volunteers who tirelessly support our initiatives, our community is the lifeblood of CODAME.
When the team got together this year, The New Human, came out as a strong interests of exploration in this new age, matching CODAME mission and curiosity towards the future(s)
The New HumanWe are not born new. We grow from fragments — scars, memories, languages, and code — layered into hybrid forms of body, mind, and culture.
Like a coral reef that forms from debris, we accrete into new shapes under pressure. Technology, biology, and imagination intertwine to create futures that are uneven, adaptive, and alive.
How do our senses expand or fracture through machines?
What rituals emerge when bodies merge with data?
What divides appear when some are augmented and others unplugged?
Where do empathy, creativity, and connection live in these hybrid worlds?
