Conceptual 3rd place winner

Enhanced Human, Artificial Intelligence, Transhumanism, Robotics. Faced with these new technologies announced and fantasized, which bends will our societies take? Will we be able to distinguish between humans, augmented humans and robots? What consequences will these technologies have for our businesses, our lives, our relationships?

I try with this series to project myself into the intimacy of a daily life rooted in a world where the border between the human and the machine is blurred. We discover characters evolving out of sight, discreetly so as not to reveal their true nature for fear of being differentiated and judged.
I draw a parallel between the relationship between digital life and "real" life, which supports the notions of perception and appearance and its derivations. We can play roles, we can play characters, but appearances can be false or misleading.

I am a professional UX/UI designer based in Brittany (France). I create images as a self tought photographer under pseudonyme Niko Photographisme.
I work mainly on surrealist compositions and I like to create my own world using photomanipulation. I consider photography as a playground for my imagination. Digital photography and retouching offer me a great freedom of creation.
I obsessed with appearances and I like to work on body modifications and improved human capacities.
I have been published in several magazines, press titles and websites: Advanced Creation magazine, Beaux Arts magazine, Huffingtonpost, Fubiz, Phototrend etc.
