Communication, network, love, war, friendship – every kind of contact presumes a state of separation. The  effort to bridge this divide makes up the basis of most human endeavors. Whether smartphone or peace treaty, human life in the 21st century is mediated by a great number of apparatuses and in-stitutions designed to regulate or reduce that distance. Reli-gious or shamanistic practices, ecstatic rituals and certain drugs all have the function to

suggest, at least for a limited amount of time, the fee-ling of an undivided human consciousness. Meanwhile, latest advances in the field of Neurophysiology might make the sci-fi-paradigm of a human-to-human data link a thing of the near future.

Beyond the human-to- human divide – Jenseits der Mensch-Mensch Grenze – future cults meet speculative science and the most venture-some phantasies.
