Monks with Macbooks — AugTwins, SatieLang and Future Humans — The collective's title slide.

Overview

An experimental art collective formed out of skepticism about technology, which tested it with three projects: AugTwins, a human digital twin; SatieLang, a programming language for generative and spatial audio; and Future Humans, a speculative look at humans after thousands of years of technology-shaped evolution.
