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.
