YURVAL , 2021 3D-animation, 8:35 min / --- imagines a future scenario of the human species in search of new expanses. in the vision of Yurval, humans have evolved into Homo Nano Sapiens and are searching for new habitats in the outer space. the film explores the idea of the end of history, in which the Earth is no longer the place where utopias and human longings are being realized. the evolution of man through the development of machines has also been overcome and biological matter has merged with technological matter to form a super-organism. the theme of the primordial human urge to discover and conquer new spaces determines the work. the film argues that the Earth through Globalization has been fully explored and studied and that there is no further history to be written on this planet. the imaginary space for new utopias is thus exhausted and all visions for a reinvention of humanity are projected into space. humanity of the future now strives to continue its history in space. the work Yurval comes at a historic moment when next to the United States of America and Europe (NASA/ESA), for the first time other countries as the United Arab Emirates and China have each launched separate missions to Mars. NATO also declared Earth orbit as operational area. as the possibility of stepping of the first humans onto Mars getting more and more near, I dedicated this work to first male and female cosmonauts who went into space YURi Gagarin and VALentina Tereshkova. the voice-over in the film belongs to satellite data engineer Nikolina Govedarica. the film is posing the question of what future humanity will have when planet Earth is destroyed and parts of humanity have left it. what will a society that has to make a new start on a distant planet look like? will it repeat the same mistakes it is trying to escape? will social inequality, racism, intolerance, poverty, and war be overcome? what provokes the human being to the projection of the self in the conquest of other planets? does it remain the cultural subject of the self after settling on other planets? what knowledge, what intrinsic values are within us? work is being done on converging the biological and digital systems. more than a technological shift, this biodigital convergence could change the way we understand ourselves and lead us to redefine what we consider human or natural. Perhaps Nitzsche was right in Thus spoke Zarathustra, that the (present-day) human being is not something definitive, but rather that a man is a rope knotted between the animal and the superhuman. with the work, I relate to utopian projections of a humanity that asks about the nature of being human in the age of the Post-Anthropocene. the film raises questions about the fate of humanit which, despite the eternal search for new spaces, will ultimately always be thrown back to itself and only recognize itself in the distant and the unknown.
