Hybrid Symposium III – Hybrid Identities
Jens Hauser (DE)
Do we have hybrid sensibilities? Both the robot and the cyborg are hybrids. Humans lend their mind to the first and their body to the other in the still uneasy coupling of metal and flesh. The very technologies that support us have a tendency to sink into invisibility. The blog could be the soul of the cyborg, of somebody made up of a node and a network. As we blog our daily encounters, we publish ourselves simultaneously with our network of like-minded persons. Differing from our shadow, our “digital persona” does not merely follow us, it precedes us, as when people “google” each other before they meet.
