TO MODIFY NATURE IS OUR NATURE.

Humans have altered the genomes of species for thousands of years through
artificial selection. Over the last half century scientists made profound
technological progress to improve natures crops and mammals through genetic
modifications. At the start of the twenty-first century science mapped the
entire human genome and so began humanity’s journey to genetically modify
ourselves.

Abhominal, “away from man”, is an exploratory weblog of the human form. These
explorations are a fusion of geometric, architectural, generative and biological
abstractions – envisioning an evolutionary future where biotechnology has been
used to make perfect posthuman beings.
