Extended Body


I thought about what part of my body I want to enhance with technology. I'm not fond of the idea to embed artificial or robotic materials in my body because it sounds painful, and then I came to think that I was satisfied with my body and its ability (it's obviously not perfect but I feel comfortable enough with it).
I got my idea from a conversation I had with my friend. She referred Karl Lagerfeld on fur that it has to be for the rich because, she explained, if fur were produced massively,that would degrade the value of fur. Though unsure about fur, I do appreciate leather's functionality, yet, in a way, I took that skin from animals. I realized how human skin was so weak and sensitive that we take animal's skin to cover our skin. So in the picture, I strengthen my skin....by growing fur. If the technology became developed enough to invent some sort of chemicals to have stronger skin, we would not have to kill animals or strip off their skin while they are alive.
