Part one: What humans will seem like over the
Unpredictable on the core, the long run is formed by the alternatives of the current. As we hunt for future truths, here's what the following hundred years of beauty trends has in store for us and the creatures you spawn(ed). The subsequent 4 a long time will release the unhinged future humans along charismatic beauty trends turning the skin into the final word pathway to the following nature human. 2018- 2028 The Founding Decade Concentrate, as what happens during this decade will plant the seeds of the following century. Acceptance of all beauty types is the norm, because the mass market embraces inclusivity as seen within the recent Asos and Superdrug collaboration.

Sarah Sitkin’s work allows you to try on one

Sarah Sitkin’s work allows you to try on one
From digital artists to photographers, body sculpturists and hair stylists to makeup and nail artists, in our Highlight series we profile the creatives tearing up the rule book of their respective industries. “It’s a tragedy that our selves should be defined by our bodies, limited by our abilities, and that our bodies will ultimately kill us,” says LA-based artist Sarah Sitkin. Working with quite a lot of different materials including silicone clay, resin and latex, Sitkin’s sculptures offer visceral depictions of the human figure, often distorted into grotesque and nightmare-ish forms.

Becoming cyborgs: exploring the longer term of the human
“Humans as we all know them won’t exist in the subsequent 50-100 years,” says Professor Kevin Warwick, British engineer, recipient of two higher doctorates, nine honorary doctorates, and certainly one of the world’s first cyborgs. “I definitely see a future by which we’re all adapted with cyborg abilities indirectly.” Human potential is evolving, and discussion around the concept of cyborgs is being met with increasing fervour by the broader public. The term cyborg has many nuanced meanings, but most frequently refers to those whose physical abilities are prolonged beyond normal human limitations, largely as a result of the mixing of human and machine – where technology becomes one with the human body. Professor Warwick has been experimenting on himself since 1998, dedicating...
