Contemporânea

Has as its main objective to reflect on the complex relationship and critical analysis of the use of technology as a capitalist instrument and device and its impact on human life, on the interchangeability between the natural and the artificial, the robotic and the organic and the tensions that these processes generate. The foresight of future social and technological developments inspired the project, which investigates notions of futurology, transhuman mythologies and other invisible, corporeal and subjective contexts. Over the last two decades, the radical transformation and or overcoming of the human condition through technology has generated profound ethical and philosophical questions. From a theoretical point of view, the advantages and risks associated with personal identity, new alterities, equality and social justice, death and immortality, religion and the meaning of life. From a practical point of view, artificial intelligence and human-machine hybridization raise ethical questions associated with physical, cognitive and moral improvement, defence and security.

Between January 2024 and March 2025, Contemporânea Film(e) presented a print edition, two exhibitions, several screenings, three film screenings programmed by artists, performances and a public program. A collaborative proposal between various disciplines and institutions.
