Arvid&Marie – The Universal Declaration of Machines Rights
The 'Non-human/More-than-human Legal Bureau of Public Requests, Complaints and Defense 2nd Door to the Left' invites citizens to come forward and participate in the crafting of a new rights declaration. The 'Non-human/More-than-human Legal Bureau of Public Requests Complaints and Defense 2nd Door to the Left 'is a committee set up to work out the practicalities of the relationship between humans and non-human. During the workshop with artist duo Arvid&Marie, citizens learn about the debate of machine rights, its importance and its critics. With a hands on legal and performative approach, participants will draft complaints and defences towards a design for the Universal Declaration of Rights for Machines.

Together Arvid Jense (NL, MSc at TU/e) and Marie Caye (FR, BA Design Academy Eindhoven) collaborate on their shared passion for art and technology. Through the use of interactive objects and performative story telling, Arvid&Marie use their collaborative effort to explore post-human theories, focusing their creative attention on practical cybernetics and autonomous machines.
