Life-support machines, they are designed to activate our bodies when anatomy fails. But what will happen when the machines keep each other alive?


Designers Revital Cohen & Tuur van Balen created The Immortal; a machine which exists out of several life-support machines connected with wires and electric cords. They keep each other alive through circulation of electrical impulses, oxygen and artificial blood.


The boundary between humans and machines is slowly but steadily blurring. In the near future dysfunctional parts from the human body will easily be replaced by mechanics. We use technology to stay alive for more days, months and even years. The Immortal shows us how human and machine can be connected in a new way, but is it still a machine?
