Marcia Nolte is currently showing Corpus 2.0, which is her interpretation of how the human body would function better with today’s fads, fashions and gadgets. She shows a face with lips that fit perfectly around a cigarette, a shoulder that is pronounced to make for making phone calls, noses with built-in grooves to hold eyeglasses, ear holes shaped like iPod ear pieces, a foot like a high heel, and a longer and stronger thumb for texting.
