An exhibition by Ralph Borland
With music by sound archivist and DJ Michael Bhatch

An exhibition of art and research into a human-machine collaboration focused on healthcare. As much as automation and emerging technologies threaten the future of work, what is their potential for enhancing human experience? At its centre is the artwork of Bone Flute, a 3D-printed replica of the artist's femur, made into a musical instrument. The work is a collaboration between artist-researcher Ralph Borland Ralph Borland, orthopaedic surgeon Rudolph Venter, and musician Allesandro Gigli, with a short film by Dara Kell.

AIAIA is an output of Future Hospitals, a research group investigating emerging technologies in healthcare in Africa, hosted by HUMA – The Institute for Humanities in Africa, at the University of Cape Town. Future Hospitals is funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York.
