ZABRA

ZABRA – Center for Post-Human Art Research conducts research in media arts—encompassing other disciplines such as the performing arts, visual arts, and new media—where technology plays a crucial role in the production or representation of artworks and their impact on the future of society. Through a transdisciplinary approach and an interspecies dialogue, it explores post-nature in contemporary creation and encourages each artist-researcher to develop their own interpretation of art, technology, and science.
