By the late twentieth century, our time, a mythic time, we are all chimeras, theorized and fabricated hybrids of machine and organism; in short, we are cyborgs. (Donna Haraway, A Cyborg Manifesto, 1985) "According to biologist, philosopher and science historian Donna Haraway, we have become alienated from our planet and its critters, as she calls all the non-human beings on Earth. How can we work towards a better co -existence with plants, animals and technology and what such a future will look like?These urgent questions were the starting point for guest curator Isabelle Bisseling when compiling the group exhibition Alienated.The work of the international artists she has selected focuses on imagining alternative She combines these contemporary works of art with collections from Museum Prinsenhof Delft in a surprising way, in which our relationship to the non-human is central. As visitors we are invited to examine ourselves. Not as a dominant individual but as part of a bigger picture, in which we are just one of many cyborgs."
