Post-humanity Zoo

by
Ahmad Aiuby

In 20xx, a deadly pandemic outbreak killed 60% of humanity. A disaster has led a group of zoologists and environmentalists to build a zoo as an archive of what capitalism/humans, which/who caused this pandemic, have done to our environment.

Post-humanity Zoo is a multisensory installation which uses the zoo as a system and environment at the intersection of nature, wildlife and urbanity, exploring the potential role they might play in preventing the next pandemic. Frog’s World is the first chapter of this zoo.

Ahmad Aiuby is an interdisciplinary artist and creative technologist. His work uses immersive and interactive media, creative coding, AI, and sound to explore the expressive possibilities offered by emerging digital technologies, and the ways in which algorithms are reshaping our everyday lives.

In 2023, Ahmad received the Mahy Khalifa Art Scholarship. Previously, he was a 2020 “We Are Data” artist fellow, a program by Cairotronica (EG) and IMPAKT (NL) festivals.

Aiuby’s work has been exhibited at Cairotronica Festival, Ars Electronica, and Arab Arts Focus.
