‘Techno Sapiens’ positions the digital as an underlying condition that permeates all aspects of contemporary life. This six-part screening programme, featuring artists’ films, documentaries, and narrative features, alongside post-screening talks, explores the subjective experiences of loneliness and connection, considering how humanity is being affected by new technologies.

How does emotional rhetoric fit with the rational discourse associated with Big Tech? In what ways is technology influencing and challenging humanity, impacting our relationships with each other, and with the world?
