Design and the Body
In 1989, artist (and former Parsons student) Barbara Kruger famously claimed, "Your body is a battleground," crystallizing an era of embodied politics. Now more than ever the body is a site of complex issues, given the rise of increasingly sophisticated prosthetics, humanlike robots, life-enhancing technologies, and evolving notions of identity and self.
