This would have been a fantastic exhibition to see. It was titled: Human+The Future of Our Species and was held at the Science Gallery, Trinity College Dublin in 2011. I am fascinated by Eduardo Kac's Eduina, a Petuna he has created with his own DNA running through its veins. My other favorite is the photograph of Aimee Mullins. I'm not sure why the exhibition was called future of our species, when I appears to reflect current developments in robotics, bio-mechanics, cosmetic surgery and genetic engineering. At least Euthanasia Coaster is a little speculative. Perhaps after all, it demonstrates multiple futures, or, rather, the many twists and turns of a future being who is an amalgam of humanimalmachine.
