Mori Art Museum in Tokyo, Japan chose its exhibition title Future and the Arts: AI,
Robotic, Cities, Life - How Humanity Will Live Tomorrow, amongst various titles created by an
artificial intelligence denominated IBM Watson.1 This futuristic exhibition encompasses varying
artistic technological dispositifs,2 which give visibility to the intersection between life and
politics, widely known as Foucaldian biopolitics. The exhibition attempts to predict our
relationship with technology in twenty years time.3 One essential indirect aspect Future and the
Arts denotes in general is the segregation of humanity from nature. The human natural
cognitive abilities of taste, desire for power, consciousness, and speculation about the future in
combination with ultimately the fear of death differentiate us from all other forms of life.4 The
alienation between nature and culture situates the human being in state of anti-nature, whereby
humanity created hegemonic systems to procreate life.
The imaginaries of the varying artists (both international and Japanese) contribute to
the metastable exhibition a futuristic game where ‘life’ is at play; this ‘game’ encompasses
different tests and formulas for life’s own improvement, but also defies notions of morality and
ethics, in order to envision a futural idea of how would technological advances affect humanity
and the age of the anthropocene. Timothy Campbell states, “Biopolitics is the explicit solution to
an inexplicit problem: power’s inability to fully access life. The more that knowledge- power
grows in intensity, the more the scene is set for the question of life to be answered by
apparatuses that focus, in particular, on the body5”. The form of control that biopolitics wishes
to impose over life encapsulates the body, but most implicitly the availability of knowledge. This
post-internet exhibition reinforces Hito Steyerl’s Too Much World: Is the Internet Dead? We
are attacked by images, information, data and videos most of our time. Future and the Arts,
further explores Artificial Intelligence, algorithms, virtual reality, data and robotics6. The
technological possibilities presented by this exhibition are therefore classified into ‘zones’.7 The
exhibition is divided in five sections entitled: New Possibilities of Cities, Toward Neo-
Metabolism Architecture, Lifestyle and Design Innovations, Human Augmentation and its
Ethical Issues and Society and Humans in Transformation. Approximately more than fifty
artists groups combining computational designers, architectural groups, scientists and
renowned technological companies such as ALIBABA, NASA, Nissan Intelligent Mobility x Art,
and Sony Corporation contributed to the exhibition. The varying apparatuses described above
ultimately enhance the aporia between the material and the intangible8.

SECTIONS 1 & 2 NEW POSSIBILITIES OF CITIES and TOWARD NEO-METABOLISM ARCHITECTURE The first two sections of the exhibition introduce models, videos, digital projections, prints, bio-
sculpture, futural installations and architectural projects of cities. They mostly connote utopian
habitats, which merge with human life needs, as well as, technologies with the capacity to blend
with extreme natural ecosystems. Toward Neo-Metabolism Architecture makes reference to
Elizabeth Grosz’s, Embodied Utopias. For instance, an Architecture of Moods 2010-2011, by
New-Territories /François Roche shows the model of a mobile robot (the city is built at its core)
able to adapt to complex geological conditions, to paraphrase, to trudge in extreme weather
conditions. The utopian architectural form presented no longer freezes into the future, but
rather is able to adapt to different conditions, which are to move and change to natural forces
such as: extreme climate and geological conditions. This fictionality breaks with static
architectural conventions as it is described as robotic pathology and strategy of disobedience.9
Further on, H.O.R.T.U.S XL Astaxanthin.g, 2019 bio-sculpture is an organic rhizomatic
sculpture made of PETG, biogel and euglena.10 London based ecologicStudio envisions
harvesting intelligences inspired by the anthropocene, whereby humanity no longer affects the
environment.11 This 3D printed substratum-like structure is an artificial living sculpture with
cyanobacteria or plant bacteria as its host.12 This habitat promotes natural life forms defying the
segregation from nature and culture. To an extent, these futural spaces create Bloch’s notion of
hope.13 These architectural presentations denote an implicit problematic of control. As argued
before, humanity is controlled by the world of conventions and hegemonies; some political and
capitalist apparatuses in return wish to control humanity further. Michael Foucault claims, “One
can easily see how the very grid pattern, the very layout of the estate articulated, in a sort of
perpendicular way the disciplinary mechanisms that controlled the body, or bodies, by localizing
families (one to a house) and individuals (one to a room). The layout, the fact that individuals
were made visible, and the normalization of behaviour meant that a sort of spontaneous policing
or control was carried out by the spatial layout of the town itself. It is easy to identify a whole
series of disciplinary mechanisms in the working-class estate.14” The futural system no only

confines bodies into conventional spaces, but these projects will give privilege to first world
economies, and disregard developing economies. Campbell claims, “The result is a racism that is
proper to laissez- faire capitalist economy: a racism that explains, without open hostility, why
the current unequal distribution of biopower— the distribution of the globalized world into “life
zones” (where citizens are protected by a host of techniques of health, security, and safety) and
“death zones” (where “wasted lives” are exposed to disease, accident, and war, and left to die).”15
It is not difficult to assume in present day, given the economic conditions we live in that, people
who have most power or are well positioned within the hegemonic system, will have the earning
capacity to live in those ‘new zones’, creating a sense of discrimination to those in a more
precarious condition. Giving privilege to power relates to Arendt’s “precise moment when law
lost touch with life.16” In a Biopolitics Reader, Campbell mentions that people outside these
norms and regulations are not part of these laws and advantages; they turn meaningless for
these societies outside the protocol. These marginalized communities do not posses the same
human rights.

H.O.R.T.U.S XL Astaxanthin.g, 2019 (Figure 2) SECTION 3: LIFESTYLE AND DESIGN INNOVATIONS In Society Must be Defended, Michael Foucault argues, “A new technology of power, but this
time it is not disciplinary. This technology of power does not exclude the former, does not
exclude disciplinary technology, but it does dovetail into it, integrate it, modify it to some extent,
and above all, use it by sort of infiltrating it, embedding itself in existing disciplinary techniques.
This new technique does not simply do away with the disciplinary technique, because it exists at
a different level, on a different scale, and because it has a different bearing area, and makes use
of very different instruments.”17 Foucault explains that control is not explicit, but rather it is
embedded in our culture and lifestyles. Section 3 presents furniture, designs, automated driving,
automated machines, natural networks, data networks, everyday life robots, fashion inspired by
the human body organs and IBM’s bitcoin virtual reality games.
Firstly, section three unveils superfluous goods such as Internal Collection, 2016-2017 series of
fashion designs by Amy Karle,18 that imitate human body features such as ligaments and
tendons, pulmonary and nervous system. Foucault further comments, “By creating the
imaginary element that is "sex," the deployment of sexuality established one of its most essential
internal operating principles: the desire for sex-the desire to have it, to have access to it, to
17 Michael Foucault. ‘Society Must be Defended’, in Biopolitics a Reader. Timothy Campbell and Adam Sitze. (London, Duke University Press, 2013), 62.18Amy Karle. 2016-2017 “Internal Collection”https://www.amykarle.com/project/internal_collection_garments/

discover it, to liberate it, to articulate it in discourse, to formulate it in truth. It constituted "sex"
itself as something desirable. And it is this desirability of sex that attaches each one of us to the
injunction to know it, to reveal its law and its power.19” The intention to imitate bodily organs is
quite innovative and a striking artistic intention, these ‘organic’ designs connote sexuality and
desire, given the fact that if worn some parts of the body would be bare-naked. Until present
day, nudity has always been a political taboo, in most cultures it is prohibited. Such artistic
intention suggests that sex has been used as a political tool for control, in a false idealization of a
balanced system with ‘sexual freedom’. This biopolitical enigma questions our notions of dress
code, where sex in general has been something secretive, difficult to reach and in order to obtain
it, one must comply to the system forces and hegemonies to attain it. Internal Collection fashion
designs also, questions economic notions of affordability, it is a luxury good that is limited to a
small percentage of the population.
Alternatively, section three shows various types of networks. For example, Amsterdam based
Next Nature Network, 2006 makes reference to data networks of the Internet system.
Alexander R. Galloway considers the tendency of these representations to repeat itself in a
structure described as a cauliflower shape.20 Aesthetically, they represent no information, only
raw data, which is almost impossible to decipher. These visual networks embody a dilemma of
representation. Galloway argues, “In fact, the high level of detail seems to hinder
comprehension rather than aid it. The high level of technical detail visible here overwhelms the
human sensorium, attenuating the viewer’s sense of reality.21” They are ironically, rhizomatic
like natural networks such as MYCELIUM + TIMBER, 2017. These natural appearances prompt
our cognitive abilities not being able to describe its randomness. However, they create an
aesthetic effect. As Hito Steyerl mentions the Internet is now everywhere, in its most
contemporary expression is that of robotics and artificial intelligence. But most importantly,
these futuristic manifestations and interests from the population are forms of data acquired by
the Internet. In our everyday Internet browsing, this data is collected by the Internet and is used
as important information sold to the highest bidder. Companies utilize our browsing
information and interests for economic means and further forms of control. For instance,
Centralization VS Decentralization hardware display: IBM 2018 artwork is a great example of
this, its own title makes reference to the powerful decentralization of the system, however, as
easy as with an IP address the internet can trace almost everyone.
The statistical desires and interests from Japan range from: most technological automobiles, to
robotics that can make a portrait with a pen, to a sushi restaurant that no longer requires
human capital named SUSHI SINGULARITY, 2019, to the famous robot dog ‘aibo, 2007’
created by Sony and Groove x’s LOVOT, 2019. Japan’s interests are immersed with
technological mediation, Japanese society appears to be individualized. Thus, they require a 19MichaelFoucault.‘RightofDeathandPowerOverLife’,inBiopoliticsaReader.TimothyCampbellandAdamSitze.(London,DukeUniversityPress,2013),56.20AlexanderR.Galloway,“AreSomeThingsUnrepresentable?”TheInterfaceEffect(2012),82.21AlexanderR.Galloway,“AreSomeThingsUnrepresentable?”TheInterfaceEffect(2012),78.

robotic intervention to satisfy their needs. This proves that the neoliberal system further
separates and individualizes society. Future and the Arts provokes a sense of uncertainty to the
viewer, how can they compete in this technological atmosphere and complex future.22 These
superfluous inventions serve to enhance the productivity and performativity of bodies, given the
fact that perhaps even robots may replace their jobs. There are varying forms of knowledge and
social, cultural conventions imposed in the bodies’ productivity and behaviour. These anime and
dog robots enhance the notion of control by our own material interests, for instance LOVOT has
a camera at the top of its head, which may create a sense of surveillance. This section of the
Future and the Arts mentions the fictional term ‘singularity’, giving power to technology over
life. The main reason for this may be as Timothy Campbell argues, “also the conditions for a
redoubled return of old fantasies of “immortality”: whereas the modern subject dreamed of
becoming a “prosthetic God,” the contemporary subject wants to use technology to overcome
mortality itself, once and for all, whether through a gradual, generalized “negation of death” or
through the achievement of a sudden, rapturous “singularity.””23 Humanity depends entirely on
technological advances as a means for longevity and the desire for immortality. In this
fictionality, technology will have its own consciousness and will take over, in the exhibition this
event is regarded as positive because it will ease our lifestyles towards more freedom. This
notion however, can be questioned as perhaps this event may be regarded as the most
Apocalyptical one, whereby technology will disregard humanity and not support humanity
according to plan.

SUSHI SINGULARITY 2019 (Figure 4)
SECTION 4, HUMAN AUGMENTATION AND ITS ETHICAL ISSUES
From robotics for human rehabilitation, robotics for human augmentation, to small pop-up
scientific labs demonstrating their latest biological discoveries in medicine and surgery. This
section of the exhibition has the appearance of a laboratory where you can observe real and
fictional experimentation on organisms and chemicals. Human Augmentation relates to control
in relation to biotechnology, medicine, natality rates and implicitly death rates. It mainly
expresses the desire to create longevity in the population. Foucault expresses the second main
general apparatus in bio-politics, “focused on the species body, the body imbued with the
mechanics of life and serving as the basis of the biological processes: propagation, births and
mortality, the level of health, life expectancy and longevity, with all the conditions that can cause
these to vary. 24” The forms of control suggested are embedded as health care systems.
Biopolitics cannot control an individual body, but it can control the whole in a statistical level,
these sectors attempt to predict future diseases and find ways to control them amongst the
population. We can perceive how the intention of biopolitics is focused towards the investment
of biological life. In essence, Foucault shows, “Power has no control over death, but it can
control mortality. And to that extent, it is only natural that death should now be privatized, and
should become the most private thing of all.25” The exhibition gives importance to the creation
of new technologies that allow the human body to expand its lifetime. The futural presentation
of the exhibition reinforces a futural status where death is a factor taken into account, the
intervention of politics as a desire to abound life, whereby the posthumanist notions of cyborgs 24MichaelFoucault.‘RightofDeathandPowerOverLife’,inBiopoliticsaReader.TimothyCampbellandAdamSitze.(London,DukeUniversityPress,2013),44. 25 Michael Foucault. ‘Society Must be Defended’, in Biopolitics a Reader.

and artificial intelligence connected to life, are being used to control further humanity, in
exchange for longevity. For instance, Semi-Living Worry Dolls 2000 by Oron Catts and Ionat
Zurr presents the first ‘artificial tissues’ engineered from human body cells. Each is given
different preoccupations like: genetic engineering, destruction, biotechnology and capitalism.26
The installation highlights preoccupations of morality and ethics and how powerful companies
prioritized by capitalism can create forms of life that may endanger nature.
SECTION 5, SOCIETY AND HUMANS IN TRANSFORMATION The last section of the exhibition visions different kinds of robotics, computer programs,
sensors, videos and video installations. In essence, German US-based artist Mike Tyka’s
presents: Us and Them, 2018 installation encompasses an artificial intelligence network that
creates tweets in relation to Donald’s Trump election in 2016, the computer programme used
around 200,000 tweets created by boots accounts in his election. The artist utilizes the same
technique, by making the AI print different opinions in relation to Trump. Thus, the installation
is similar to Baudrillard’s Simulacra, where the virtual digital space blurs from the ‘real’ space.
This articulation creates a simulacrum of power.27 Joshua Simon comments in Curating After
the Global, “When considering Marx’s Eighteen of Brumaire with regard to the presidency of
Donald Trump we are in a position to ask what happens the third time: when the farce is a total
tragedy.”28 Also, “The 2008 crisis, and the implementation of austerity policies to benefit the
financial sector, seemed to show elites that they still have the use of the state in its oppressive
form. This is the tide that allows de-globalization politics navigate so smoothly. From Louis
Bonaparte to Trump, there is a consistent pattern: fascists get to power through elections.29”
The social media apps, which most of us ironically believe are a form of free expression and
freedom have tended to be the most confined technology. Social Media Apps created a mirage
and farce in regards to Trump’s presidency. Deleuze comments, “The societies of control
operate with machines of a third type, computers, whose passive danger is jamming and whose
active one is piracy and the introduction of viruses. This technological evolution must be, even
more profoundly, a mutation of capitalism, an already well-known or familiar mutation.30” The
Neoliberalist system we live in today appears as source of political freedom, this is only a mirage
as capitalist systems of surveillance are embedded everywhere. Additionally, Zoom Pavilion,
2015 created by Mexican artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer in collaboration with Krzysztof
Wodiczko connects to Deleuze Societies of Control. Hemmer installation explicitly presents the
notion of surveillance and control. Twelve cameras surround the room and with the use of

recognition algorithms they project the viewers movements, these electronics can even zoom
closer creating a visual interplay of surveillance.31 Deleuze claims, “Types of machines are easily
matched with each type of society – not that machines are determining, but because they
express those social forms capable or generating them and using them.32” These forms of
surveillance wish to control our individualized behaviour, as a political intention to control the
population.
To finalize, the artistic group Ouchhh presents DATAMONOLITH’s, 2019. This high definition
video installation demonstrates how images today are migrants as they travel everywhere and
its meaning changes abruptly. Joshua Simon comments upon the curatorial techniques “This
form is distinct in meshing together entertainment and surveillance to such a degree that they
are inseparable (Big brother, selfies, instant messaging, social media). From the digital as the
material of capital (immaterial labor, touching images on the screen, cryptocurrencies), to the
rhizomatic panopticon of the Internet, montagne has been replaced by Navigation, and the
totality of the social is no longer the reference for the visual but the tidal liquidity of capital.
With the digital and the urban converging,- from pop-up exhibitions in non-art spaces, to
Instagram foodies, gyms and joggers, Airbnb, food trucks and other institutions of
gentrification-metabolic synchronization-biopolitical and necropolitical - emerges as the form
totalizing political control. 33” It appears that for humanity reality does not reconcile with itself,
everything is so complex that this world appears the worst of all possibilities.34 It is essential to
give visibility to the intangible, to question notions of control and surveillance through these
artistic ‘political spaces’ or Foucault’s ‘heterotopias’ where criticality takes place in varying ways.
