 Curatorial statement:

Spaces are the fabric behind everything we do. Large, inviting spaces make us more creative and communicative, while small, cramped spaces leads to frustration and confinement. We fail to recognize the importance of spaces until they are no longer available, during the height of the pandemic, or in the slums of an underdeveloped city. As we humans continue to wage war against ourselves and our planet, we must consider how the spaces we make can make ourselves better humans, by thinking beyond ourselves. What interactive spaces of the future can transform our living, enable productive interactions with technology, encourage sustainable living in a threatened climate, make us more harmonious as opposed to contentious, providing us a context for thinking beyond ourselves? BEYOND HUMAN SPACES explores constructions and interactions that apply built environments and technological insights to enable human existence into the next century despite the challenges to our future posed by our own actions. Studio for Narrative Spaces: is a collective of creative practitioners at City University of Hong Kong School of Creative Media who work with neuroscientists, roboticists, performers, designers, architects to tell immersive stories and grasp how human behaviors are shaped by environmental storytelling.

空間是我們所做一切事情的基礎。

寬敞宜人的空間會讓我們更富創造力和溝通力，而狹小逼仄的空間則會帶給我們挫敗感和束縛感。在我們體驗流行病高發期或不發達城市的貧民窟，這種剝奪我們對空間使用權的情況之前，我們都不會意識到空間的重要性。當人類持續與自己及自己的星球對抗時，我們必須透過超越人類本身的思考模式，從宏觀角度思考該如何設計這個空間來讓我們變得更好。到底什麼樣的未來互動空間可以改善我們的生活？什麼樣的空間在滿足我們與科技進行有效互動的同時，還能提倡在受到威脅的氣候下可持續生活，使我們能與空間和諧相處而不是帶來威脅，為我們提供一個不僅僅只考慮人類自己的環境？ BEYOND HUMAN SPACES（超越人類空間）將探索適合現在空間環境和科技視角的互動空間結構，使人類能夠存活到因為自身行為而帶來挑戰的下個世紀。
