The History of Altered Human Representation and its Impact on the Future Development of Mankind
An analysis of past sculptural practices involving depictions of the altered human form. Further to this I analyse how these forms influence science fiction. I then discuss how these science fiction images influence future developments and possibilities for augmented human form.

FutureFace
The FutureFace project is communicated within the framework of Design Fiction and is informed by both historical and contemporary images and concepts. I investigate the importance of materials and processes with regard to the design and manufacture of the finished objects and try to create a bridge between material reality and theoretical conceptualisation. I also briefly consider the impact of Covid-19 on my project and some of the steps taken as a result of changed circumstances. Finally, I present the created objects as an extensive group to communicate the future possibilities of genetic manipulation. The original exhibition concept would have been an installation of a large number of objects and images, which has been transformed into a website.
