At the 59th Venice Biennale, San Marino presents “Postumano Metamorfico“, an exhibition that features 8 artists presenting 80 artworks that explore the human body from a post-human perspective. Post-human philosophies investigate ways to prolong life, heal diseases, transform physical characteristics, hybridize or manufacture new species, implement the metamorphosis of one body into another. These changes are progressively becoming a reality thanks to biotechnologies and synthetic biology.
