My work is concerned with the technoMetamorphosis of humanity. This work takes the form of
academic research/writing and also digital visual art.

Homo sapien transmutes to Homo faber then to Homo electronicus - we have created a world which
has evolved from flint axes to miniature satellite cell phone-computers. These contemporary high-tech
objects are no longer simple tools that we once put down after use, many are embedded in ourselves
and our cultural artefacts.

Regardless of biologically hardwired genetic predispositions all humans are now born into a technology
saturated cultural world which is affecting our future evolution. It is my concern to explore this technoMetamorphosis so as to arouse awareness in others to decide on a sustainable future worth living.

I see three possible future scenarios: - Total extinction of humanity due to unsustainable practices in
all areas of life, brought about by excessive greed and apathy.- A cold, mechanistic Brave New World
inhabited by entities devoid of feeling and compassion. - A future that honours our humanity yet enhances
our existing attributes through intimate technologies. I believe the word Cyborg still describes this
combination of human and machine adequately and not pejoratively.
