A pioneer blurring the boundaries across art, architecture, technology and design, British-born Australian Lucy McRae has a finely tuned ability to imagine other ways of being and, crucially, other possibilities for how human biology might be augmented by a mixture of physical design, modification of genes and emotions. Examining the way science is transforming the body, McRae’s prophetic aesthetic is flung far from archetypal tropes –creating nostalgia for a future about to happen -using art as a mechanism to signal and provoke our ideologies and ethics about who we are and where we are headed.
