Vision – Beyond Physicality –
Traditionally, our bodies have defined the edges of our perception, cognition, and capability. Yet as technology evolves, these once-fixed boundaries can be transcended. Beyond Physicality explores how we might re-envision the human body not as a static, biologically given form, but as a customizable, dynamic interface to interact with the world. In this new paradigm, the body becomes something we can extend, reshape, and even “swap,” allowing us to question the nature of our physical presence and identity.
