Luna Maurer
Human

First presented at Forward Festival Berlin 2025, What Makes Us Human is a performance-lecture that traces Lunas 25-year journey in digital culture. At its core lies the question: how do we experience friction with the machine, and what are our human characteristics? Encircled by an illuminated ring holding her cellphone camera, she transforms the device into both tool and companion, reasserting human agency in the digital age.
