Hello Mike,
Thanks for your interest. I am happily telling you more about my project.
I am an artist who is interested in science, in utopia and seemingly
impossible projects. I also came across a lot of
artists with OC traits. Besides that,
I am interested in useless technology how it is defined by Steve Kurtz (
Critical Art Ensemble).
The OCAP, actually the obsessive compulsive arctificial project
.
The idea of useless technology is developed in
wearables more than in bioart. Steve's
perspective is more political than artistic in
regards to uselessness, don't you think? My
paper which includes an interview with him is
published in Technoetics (2007). But that
probably explains some of your thinking because
the fine arts is pretty much turned off to
transhumanism and infers an elitism stemming from
the ideas of people who support argumentation and
indefinite lifespans. Most of my colleagues are
professors in art institutions and we discuss
this frequently and at length. In fact, I gave a
lecture at the NABA in Milano last month and 80%
of the student body said they wanted to live to
50 maximum. (I hope to lecture there more often
and fortunately the head of the program is a pro transhumanism:-))
I look forward to reading about your work.

inside the circle and everything outside the
circle, then that is an open system perspective. - Buckminster Fuller
