Posthuman Futures  digital sculptures  by Jason Hopkins

No longer a science fiction, we – the human race – are on the cusp of human genetic engineering.

Humans have altered the genomes of species for thousands of years through artificial selection. Over the past 40 years scientists have made amazing technological progress to improve natures crops and mammals through genetic modifications; recently science has mapped the entire human genome and begun to realise the potential for modifying us.

Abhominal, an archaic word meaning inhuman, is an exploratory weblog of the human form. The digital sculptures are a fusion of geometric, architectural and biological abstract forms – a bleak evolutionary future where biotechnology has been used to make perfect post human beings.To modify nature is our nature. 

Via   As grotesque as they may already appear, the back story ratchets up the queasiness: “Abhominal, an archaic word meaning inhuman, is an exploratory weblog of the human form,” Hopkins’ website says. “The digital sculptures are a fusion of geometric, architectural and biological abstract forms – a bleak evolutionary future where biotechnology has been used to make perfect posthuman beings.”

How does a mall attract holiday shoppers in the age of Amazon? Hire a dashing Santa, of course! 

For several years now the Yorkdale Mall in Toronto has launched a campaign called Fashion Santa, and we’ve gotta admit, this is a welcome update to the old Saint Nick.
