human redundancy?

call me an old-fashioned humanist from the 20th century, but why does 
anybody even come up with a derogatory title like this? if this was 
the name of a punk band, i wouldn't mind, but in a series with these:

Real + Virtual
LANguage
New Performance

i really do not understand. unless it is, among all the 
post-post-human talk on next sex (aec), constructed life (zkm), 
larger than life (emaf), life5.0 (telefonica), etc., another project 
in a series where art projects serve to normalise inhumane 
technological research.

when will there be a title in this field that is _not affirmative_?


sorry, this irritates me immensely.
