I love how different mediums are used to either shine light on a important topic, or at the very least question it; for instance, take a look at the Lucy McRae ‘TransNatural’ series. Part of the art and exhibition, TransNatural, it addresses the crossover between nature and technology (as does the entire show).
Although only two photographs of the Lucy McRae ‘TransNatural’ series were released, if you’re in Amsterdam on February 19th, you may be able to view the rest in person.
Key Themes Behind This Trend

- The fusion of natural and technological elements in art and design presents opportunities for innovation in biomimicry and smart materials.
- Bio-digital Aesthetics
- Exploring the intersection of human biology and digital technology can lead to disruptive innovation in fields such as fashion and architecture.
- Cyborg Anthropology
- The emergence of cyborg technology presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in understanding and enhancing the relationship between humans and technology.
Where This Applies
- Art and Design
- The intersection of nature and technology provides opportunities in art and design for exploring new materials and aesthetics.
