How would an artificial intelligence newly interpret traditions and myths in a world where there are no more human beings? Using enchanting images, What Humanity Taught Us creates a cave-like space of possibilities that casts a fascinating gaze from a distant future onto our present.

The interdisciplinary artist Karla Kracht regularly concerns herself with human rituals and cults in her productions. In this work, she speculates on the spiritual legacy of humanity and weaves together a narrative of puppetry, drawings, video and technology from the perspective of a post-sapiens intelligence. Objects, electronic artifacts, sculptures, sound, light and projections create a festive atmosphere in which the rituals, somehow familiar but still strangely distorted, are celebrated.
