ARTISTS
The State Of Us
From grotesque to the wonderful, these digital artists examine how the body and self are transformed, manipulated, reinvented and reshaped to create a new 鈥榮elf鈥�, to reshape our human connection 鈥� for better or worse.
We have become engineers of our own humanity. Through intervention we are seeing the imbalance of 鈥榯ruth鈥� in the definition of what we are. Mary Shelley wrote in Frankenstein the body is a 鈥榳orkshop of filthy creation鈥� 鈥� never has this been truer in the digital age.
Through time, natural evolution has shaped the world we live and as a consequence the human species, but now human intervention is overriding natural laws of selection. The balance has tipped towards 鈥榚ngineered evolution鈥� by a single species, as technology intervention surpasses the rate of nature and rewrites the laws of evolution.
