Embracing the Prosthetic: Exploring Identity in the Digital Age

This Pecha Kucha presentation, presented by Nick Morris on April 6, 2010, delves into the concept of prostheses in the digital age, focusing on their impact on identity and cognition. It connects historical references and notable figures like Ambroise Paré and Edgar Allan Poe to modern themes of artificial and externalized mind enhancement. By examining visual technologies as cognitive prostheses and discussing cultural constructs like Cyberpunk and Steampunk, this talk offers insights into how technology shapes our understanding of the human experience.
