Abstract:
This paper considers the status of the body as we journey deeper into technological territory. The body is at the center of a multiplex system of intersecting realities. Our physiology, memory, imagination, dream space, and subconscious is informed by our sense of touch, taste, smell, sight, and sound. Our psychical and physical abilities imply that each of us presides over a powerful intelligence that is vested in the body. What does each of us actually know about our own body? How is digital technology shifting the value of the body? Has the body been monetized, and if so, what options do we have to take back our body? Why does it matter now?
