Homo Hapticus

Non potendo conseguire l’immortalità, gli umani cercano ostinatamente di prolungare la vita e di potenziare le proprie capacità fisiche e mentali, ricorrendo sempre più alla scienza e alla tecnologia.

Homo Sapiens shows stunning images of forgotten places, buildings we constructed and then left.

Gavin Friday's much-awaited new album, Ecce Homo, his first in over thirteen years, is being released via BMG.

In Homo Ludens, the classic evaluation of play that has become a "must-read" for those in game design, Dutch philosopher Johan Huizinga defines play as the central activity in flourishing societies. Like civilization, play requires structure and participants willing to create within limits. Starting with Plato, Huizinga traces the contribution of Homo Ludens, or "Man the player" through Medieval Times, the Renaissance, and into our modern civilization. Huizinga defines play against a rich theoretical background, using cross-cultural examples from the humanities, business, and politics. Homo Ludens defines play for generations to come.

The images could be taken from a science fiction film set on planet Earth after it's become uninhabitable. Abandoned buildings - housing estates, shops, cinemas, hospitals, offices, schools, a library, amusement parks and prisons. Places and areas being reclaimed by nature, such as a moss-covered bar with ferns growing between the stools, a still stocked soft drinks machine now covered with vegetation, an overgrown rubbish dump, or tanks in the forest. Tall grass sprouts from cracks in the asphalt.
