The Bioapparatus

The Bioapparatus is a Humanities, Arts and Cultural Studies course taught by Lorne Falk.

This course is only open to students in Division II and Division III.

Course Description
The bioapparatus is a term coined by two Canadian media artists, Nell Tenhaaf and Catherine Richards, to cover a wide range of issues concerning the technologized body. This course will explore the relationship of the mind and body to technology in contemporary art and design. We will discuss issues such as re-embodiment, designing the social, natural artifice, cyborg fictions, subjectivities, perfect bodies, contemporary virtual environments, the real interface, art machines and aural/visual space. Division II and III students will have the opportunity to develop an independent paper or portion of their thesis in this course.
