Humans and their Errors: version 3.0
What if our errors were our most beautiful creations?
Humans and their Errors is a philosophical essay on wandering.
Its author — an engineer by training and a digital artist — shares his existential glitches, metaphysical errancies, and their impact on the material, virtual, and artificial intelligence realms.
His premise, paradoxical in itself, unfolds through scenes of ordinary life. Existence is erroneous, and it is from this ‘ontological error’ that our freedom arises. He invites us to wander through a universe of representations, to imagine other forms of consciousness — imaginary or digital — beyond what we can grasp through science.
Enriched with illustrations and QR codes leading to videos and virtual reality works, the book invites curious minds to engage in theoretical conjectures that transcend disciplinary boundaries.

About the author
Christophe Bruchansky
4 books13 followersBelgian essayist and digital artist creating moving images, micro–art games, and virtual experiences.
My essays — published in AI & Society, Philosophy Now, and The Disconnect — explore the limits of self-determination in a world reshaped by technology.
My videos and installations stage the tension between fantasy and a messier off-screen reality: a superflat aesthetic disrupted by digital glitches.
My point-and-click games and virtual worlds function as heterotopias: contemplative spaces, in Foucault’s sense, that mirror and invert reality, reflecting on the gamification of life and the impossibility of winning it all.
