HUMAN+: The Future of Our Species
Not long ago, in my mind, the development and realization of genetic engineering, biotechnology, and nanotechnology, almost all appeared in science fiction movies and novels. Sci-fi movies often show us complete cloning technology, as well as human transformation technology. Have you ever thought that after a few years, these technologies continue to develop what we see, will become a real thing. These are the issues at the heart of HUMAN+: The Future of Our Species.
Have you ever thought about what will we look like in the future? In the future, will some part of our body be the same as we are now? In Singapore Art & Science Museum: The HUMAN +: The Future of Our Species. This exhibition, for us to introduce the relationship between science and technology and our people's body. This exhibition is divided into five different small categories. How we are already cyborgs, how robots interact with us, how we could manipulate our ecosystem and what will it mean to be a future human. The last part is about genetically engineered engineering, biotechnology, and nanotechnology.
Human +, show us 40 international artists, scientists, technical commissioners and designers of the works. Show us and explain our future.
01: The first gallery ‘Augmented Abilities‘
It shows us how we are so strong in the way, such as prostheses. The appearance of the transformation, to help humans become cyborgs. Disabled, but also through the prosthesis, to enhance their own.
02: Encountering Others.
Area V5 is a wall of disembodied robotic eyes that follows visitors as they walk by. These robots are simulating human vision. He is imitating human beings and observing his visitors.

Robot arms- by Addie Wagenknecht 2012
Optimization of Parenting 2: A robot arm that gently shakes the cradle when the baby is crying or waking from sleep. Although this can help parents balance work and life. Some automatic repeat tasks can be transferred to the robot equipment, but this will affect the growth of young children? I think children, should need some memory training, cultivate a sense of familiarity. When they wake up the first time should see the parent rather than a robotic arm. But the arm can ease the child's crying to know the parents heard the cry and came to see.
03: Authoring Environments.
If we change the environment, do we have to change ourselves to adapt? Soon, we’ll have robots living at home with us. We will use technology to grow vegetables and fruits.
04: Life at the edges.
It explores the limits of human life and longevity. The exhibits in this gallery offer interesting (and sometimes terrible) reasonable answers when we continue to test our presence limits. In the future, we can choose the baby's genetic characteristics, such as the baby will have the congenital disease, we can use surgery to change, or even change the gene.
05: Nadine.
Nadine manufacturing in Singapore is one of the world's female humanoid robot society the most realistic. Nadine is imitated by Professor Nadia Magnenat Thalman. The technology is being developed for people with special needs. She can help people who need additional support. She can also read the story, show pictures, start Skype session, send e-mail and communicate with the user's family. You will have the opportunity to interact with Nadine from 2:00 pm to 7:00 pm every day.
We have lived in an automated world where there are robots, robots and super characters. Almost like we live in the MARVEL world, comic cartoon out of some of our future truth. Technology is also constantly changing with the times; technology is also constantly meet the needs of a variety of human beings, requires a lot of innovation. So we also need to think, in the future people's clothing should be what kind of changes, jewelry should have more functionality.
