HOW 2 B HUMAN: A CYBORG’S GUIDE is a short film featuring L0-V.3, a data-gathering cyborg who arrives on Earth to investigate the elusive question of what it means to be human. Framed as an instructional guide, the film unfolds through narrated steps derived from Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs—a mid-20th-century psychological framework for understanding human motivation and fulfilment.

By filtering this model through the perspective of an artificial entity, the film offers a speculative anthropology: one that deconstructs the rituals, contradictions, and emotional architectures that define human life. Rather than offering definitive answers, the piece lingers in ambiguity—treating humanity less as a fixed category and more as a set of gestures, yearnings, and provisional truths observed from the outside in.
