Humans have always exploited the raw materials this planet has to offer – with
the power to change the nature of things, whether physical or virtual. With
constant re-edits and enhancements we transform everything we touch as part of
our evolutionary mutation. In Greek mythology Prometheus was a demigod and a
Titan worshipped by craftsmen. Greek Titans were ultimately honoured as the
ancestors of humans, who in turn were attributed with “the invention of the
arts and magic” 2. The artists featured in Children of Prometheus at the NeMe
Arts Centre explore the possible consequences of our scientific and
technological imaginings for us as individuals, our society and the world at
large. The exhibition considers the roles of our arts and science traditions,
and how they are played out while examining: governance, posthumanism,
biohacking, and biopolitics.
