ANIMATION + SITE-SPECIFIC EXHIBITION
“The Hamburg-based duo Animationseries2000 reflect the poignant
issues of our time with dark humor and retrofuturist-minimalist
animations and installations. Their recent project HUMAN SIMULATOR is
their meta take on consumerism; the “game” works within a system of
flattened, binary paradigms, which, through their simplicity, serve all
the more to underscore certain realities common to us all.”

HUMAN SIMULATOR is an animation depicting a fictitious computer game. The visitors are guided through various game sequences. The game demonstrates the emotional implications of being human in a humorous way. In different game modes, the aim is to maintain the right balance between different emotions. The goal is to avoid an emotional downward spiral and to escape the countdown of »human time« for as long as possible. The actions of the players consist of social interactions that are often linked to consumerist behaviours.
HUMAN SIMULATOR, presented by ZW°70.art, travelled in the shape of a mobile exhibition space to several public spaces and festivals in Hamburg:
