Dyscorpia: Future Intersections of the Body and Technology is an art exhibition that took place in Edmonton in Spring 2019. It gathered an international roster of artists and thinkers in visual art, design, printmaking, medical humanities, virtual reality, sound creation, computer science, and creative writing in order to question what it means not to know the limits of our bodies. Dyscorpia is not science-fiction. Dyscorpia is historical time and biological time entangled. It forces past and future in a deadlock, so the present can be squeezed inside out for you to see.
