Can Reconstruction of the Human Body Reveal a New Transition Phase for the Human Species into a Yet to be Known Living Form? Posthumanism: Future Biomorphic Transformations and Sculptural Reconstruction of the Human Body

My research focus is on posthumanism: future biomorphic transformations and sculptural reconstruction of the human body. I work with digital—physical sculpture, data art, performance and contemporary technology and materials, such as 3D printing, attempting to bridge the gap between art, science, design and technology. My work investigates a presently topical discourse on the aspects of posthumanism theories, such as bioengineering, gender issues and outer space exploration. Philosophically, I lean on posthumanism theories, uncovered by Cary Wolfe, Daryl Wennemann, N. Katherine Hayles, et al. I further these ideas into sculptural surfaces, enmeshing future skin concept and biomorphic transformations of the skin based on the data from the human body. Current research eventually will result in a multi sensorial experience with mixed reality scenarios — exhibition and performances with augmented to body 3D printed sculptures — a visualisation of human's personal data. The work contributes articulating future possibilities of the relationship of technology and the body. The contribution can be important to the postgender related discussion in relation to digital technologies, data and bodies; to the augmented and mixed reality issues relating to the body and also the themes of embodiment, bodies of matter and data bodies. The objects encapsulate different layers of information and might encourage different perspective on posthumanism.
