Digital Sculpture
This article by Blyn discusses this concept of entering into the post human era, as something that is a melange between technology and humanity. Mullins is aided by technology for she can choose her artificial legs as a part of her identity. These technologies help enhance the lives of humans through artificial organs, and prosthetics. This article talks about the bourgeois art as something was about ‘idealized beauty’, in comparison about how society wants the ideal human to become a machine- and a perfect one at that. I am still a bit confused by the production of cremaster 3 even after having had read this chapter however. The role of technology was very much demonstrated in the powers of augmenting and altering the body to achieve this notion of unattainable beauty. The doctors through surgery are manipulating the human body parts to reach this idealized beauty notion, while becoming else and less identifiable as a natural human being.
