We all find ourselves living in a fleshy, fallible human body, embedded in an extended technological world, that intermingles with nature, nonhuman animals, biochemical science, and new digital realms. As normative binaries such as male/female, nature/technology, even real/ imagined disintegrate, we find that old definitions of the human cannot encompass the true complexity and diversity of bodies and experiences.

But how can we challenge normative ideals of the human body? Ideals around gender or race or how we should, or should not, be interacting with technology? How can we create new bodily forms and new ways of living that more accurately reflect our posthuman reality? I'm your host, researcher and theorist, Lydia Kaye, and here I speak to art makers, product creators, scientists, and revolution makers, who help us rethink what it is to be human in these contemporary times. But what really comes about through these conversations is that we get to know the humans behind the creations; their inner worlds that form the basis of what drives them.
