2nd MFRU New Corporeality

24.–02. September 1996, Maribor, Slovenia

“Throughout the history of its existence, humanity has endeavoured to change its living environment with the aid of technology. Now, at the end of the twentieth century, it is trying to use technology to alter the human body, too. Alternative bodies, or bodies of the future, are the object of much research and numerous contemporary media art projects. Artists aestheticise scientific achievements and ask important philosophical questions about the potential paths humanity can take into technological civilisation. The histories of science and art intertwine in the territory of the bodily to the extent that they can hardly be separated.”

(unknown author, New bodies for alternative worlds, catalogue, 1996)
