FUTURE FUTURES
Digital Series
As we approach a technological singularity that threatens to replace flesh and blood beings with digital versions of themselves, the question must be asked: Can we lose embodied experience and still think of ourselves as human? Future Futures explores this idea through the nexus of (digital) cinema and the physically rigorous choreography of Company 605.
