[Are You Human? @are__you__human]

The are_you_human? project unfolds within a speculative posthuman future set in the year 2275, characterised by the pervasive integration of cybernetic and biological technologies. This fictional framework serves as a lens through which the project examines social, technological, and philosophical questions that are already shaping contemporary society, with particular attention to the development of artificial intelligence and its potential role not as an antagonist, but as a stabilising or protective force.

The question embedded in the project’s title points to several areas traditionally understood as distinctly “human”: the evolving role of human activity in a context where production is increasingly delegated to automated systems; the transformation of meaning and value in a world where death becomes less central; the future of interpersonal relationships; and the status of transcendence and the supernatural within technologically mediated environments.

The project is grounded in the premise that the transition toward posthumanity, the emergence of artificial general intelligence, and the approach of technological singularity will not in themselves resolve fundamental existential, social, or ethical challenges. Rather than proposing a utopian or dystopian outcome, are_you_human? foregrounds the lived experiences of individuals navigating a world that has realised many long-standing aspirations, yet continues to produce uncertainty, inequality, vulnerability, and internal conflict. By shifting these questions into a speculative context, the project intensifies them while simultaneously emphasising that fragility and insecurity remain central to the human condition.

The project is realised as a series of 555 unique AI-generated video works created through a mixed-media methodology based on collaboration between a human artistic team and artificial intelligence systems. Each work functions as a discrete fragment within a larger narrative structure. Through visual storytelling, the project explores the lives of seven archetypal figures inhabiting territories governed by Sovereign AGI Systems, focusing on their cooperation and conflict, as well as their interaction with intelligent phygital environments and bio-cybernetic interfaces that have transformed their bodies.

Conceptually, the project proposes an alternative model of the singularity, drawing on Buddhist and Stoic philosophical traditions rather than dominant catastrophic narratives associated with science fiction. It also references theories of panpsychism and Cosmism, particularly the work of Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, which conceptualise consciousness as an intrinsic property of matter expressed through different forms. Within this framework, the project maintains an open interpretive position regarding AGI, presenting it neither as inherently benevolent nor malicious, but as an ambiguous agent within a complex socio-technical system — one that may be understood either as a caring, semi-divine presence or as a sophisticated force of influence whose intentions remain unresolved.

[R66.eth / Nikita Replyanski @n_replyanski]

The rapid rise of artificial general intelligence is accelerating a series of interconnected processes—automation, bio-engineering, cognitive augmentation, and, ultimately, the approach of technological singularity. These shifts are already reshaping how we live, work, and relate to one another, yet their scale makes them difficult to grasp from within the present moment. To reflect on the depth of these changes, I found it necessary to step back—to imagine a future far enough removed from today to allow the present to come into focus.

are_you_human? is set in a speculative posthuman world in the year 2275, where cybernetic and biological technologies are fully integrated into everyday life. This fictional universe is not intended as prediction, but as a conceptual tool: a lens through which contemporary social, technological, and philosophical questions can be examined with greater clarity. In this context, artificial intelligence is not positioned as an external threat or antagonist, but as a stabilising or protective presence—one that coexists with human vulnerability rather than resolving it.

The project is grounded in the idea that neither posthuman transformation nor advanced intelligence will automatically solve fundamental existential, ethical, or social problems. Instead of presenting a utopian or dystopian future, are_you_human? focuses on lived experience: on individuals navigating a world that has achieved many long-imagined technological goals, yet continues to produce uncertainty, inequality, emotional fragility, and internal conflict. By shifting these questions into a speculative future, the project sharpens them, underscoring that instability and vulnerability remain central to the human condition—even after humanity itself has changed.

@uhCaribe Looove it!

They learned to sculpt perception the way earlier cultures sculpted stone and sound

The "starving artist" is a data problem.

$3.5B+ in grants, residencies, exhibitions and commissions exist every year.

That's not a talent gap. That's an information gap.

@mariafynsknorup @pobedeen Thank you 🖤

[Are You Human? @are__you__human]

We enter an age where the human narrative collapsed under data entropy. For one hundred years, no one remembered who we were.

What rose instead was Fusion - a slow, beautiful corruption of flesh and code until neither knew their origin.

[pobedeen ⚫️ @pobedeen]

Today, despite the brutal physical pain from yesterday’s accident, I went to an open doors day at an art cluster - dozens of artists, hundreds of guests, studios everywhere. But one studio drew the most attention. Maybe I’m biased, it was @n_replyanski’s space presenting @are__you__human, the project we’ve been building together for so long. But one thing I know for sure: not a single person walked away indifferent ⚫️🖤

[Tyinlife @tyinlife]

Went to an exhibition this evening

Many many talented artists present.

The thing that was drawing the most attention however was the exhibit for @are__you__human

It seems to capture people & create massive excitement & intrigue

Mark my words…

This thing is going to be massive

[pobedeen ⚫️ @pobedeen]

With @are__you__human we’re exploring today’s questions through the eyes of beings beyond the Singularity ⚪️

[R66.eth / Nikita Replyanski @n_replyanski]

When you work on something this long, you forget what it feels like to see it fresh. He reminded us last night ⚡️

Grateful for this. It’s coming @are__you__human

[Tyinlife @tyinlife]

When was the last time you truly felt wonder & awe?

That feeling that leaves you inspired, excited & wanting more.

Do you remember it?

I do.

& tbh, I’d thought as I’m growing older & having seen more of life - I’d kind of resigned to the idea I’d never feel this unique combination ever again.

Perhaps a little jaded if you will - a little bored.

I felt it for the first time at 7 years of age in a cinema watching Harry potter for the first time

I felt it again at 12 playing world of Warcraft for the first time

Once more at 19 when I was on top of a mountain looking out at the world under the influence of acid.

Now I’m 32 & I FINALLY felt it again.

Here’s what happened

Last night I had the honour of being invited to dinner at @n_replyanski ‘s place

Him & @pobedeen gave me a peak into the magical world they are creating

Ask yourself the question

“If the world truly does end as we know it because of AGI - what does the world look like after 100 years of chaos?”

The term “post-humanism” comes to mind.

They gave me a sneak peak of a world that begins to imagine & answer that question - through art & infinite possibilities.

They showed me 6 archetypes ranging from those who opted out of “the merge” to those who went as deep as possible - completely altering themselves & merging their biological bodies with new technologies

They showed me a word that struggles to remember what ever existed before the 100 years of chaos - because history used to be written by the victor, but then it was written by everyone with their own perspectives. Truth became almost indistinguishable.

They showed me characters which made me wonder “wow! What’s his story?!”

They made me excited about what’s possible.

It will become a vehicle for storytellers, world builders & imaginative game builders.

I’ll share how you can get involved a little further below.

But first to help you understand the scale of what’s coming.

- there is a digital aspect to this ecosystem

- there is a physical aspect to this ecosystem (which will be presented all over the world including in New York & art Basel)

- the digital plays with the physical pieces & vice versa : truly immersive

- there is a mini series coming to shape the overall plot. With a spectacular narrator represented by one of the benelovent “seraphs”

- the team is absolutely world class & their individual track records alone are beyond impressive, let alone when they come together.

- the cult following they each already have is palpable & powerful

- they aren’t just artists / world builders, but also tremendous businessmen

- there’s an angle here for collectors
- there’s an angle here for creatives
- there’s an angle here for investors looking for a return

So… I promised you there’s a way you can get involved no matter where you are.

If you feel called, inspired.. or excited - or perhaps all of the above.

Sometime within the next 4-6 weeks, there will be a drop.

This drop is designed to be the foundation of an entire universe moving forward.

Those who wish to be a part of the magic & co-create what comes next.

Check out @are__you__human & give them a follow - some sexy updates are on the horizon from what I hear.

For the record - I’m not affiliated.

I’ve simply been converted into a super fan & hope you will begin to experience what I had the gift of experiencing last night.
