What are the limits of the human body and what happens when these limits are transgressed? At what point does the human body become something other than itself, something foreign, synthetic, or incorporeal? Join us as we explore the body in all its multifarious forms--the extreme body, the anatomical body, the disabled body, the animal body, and the puppet body.
