Description

Humans are social beings that constantly seek for social relationships and bondings. Solitude is a state that the human being tries to avoid. However, there are countless times in which humans see no way out of the solitude. For the general satisfaction of needs or to close the emptiness that the absence of a person can provoke, it exists that humans help themselves with artificial beings.

This project deals with the delicate question if a bond between a human and an artificial being is possible after all. Basis for this analysis was a survey with people of different age, gender and social standing that had to deal in a verbal, graphic and experimental manner with the complex issue: What makes a human being recognizable? What makes a human being human?
