Cloning, stem cell research, cybernetics and other
novel reproductive and health technologies illustrate
the rapid pace at which society and culture are
changing. Our sense of who and what we are is
rapidly expanding and diversifying, as are our means
of expression and self-actualization. Consequently,
an exciting and provocative new community of social
activists, artists and cultural facilitators is emerging.
As art and life continue to reflect and create each
other, both are changing as we move into a
posthuman form and into a posthuman era.
TransVision 2004 seeks to capture and highlight
these trends by bringing together a wide array of
transhumanist thinkers, artists, scientists and
ethicists. In a celebration and investigation of the
new culture, TV04 will provide captivating and avant-
garde performance art and exhibitions, in concert
with academic discussions, debates and
presentations.
