From Wikipedia: "Transhumanism (abbreviated as H+ or h+) is an international and intellectual movement that aims to transform the human condition by developing and making widely available sophisticated technologies to greatly enhance human intellect and physiology.[1][2]"

What does it mean to enhance the human being? In my experience, weaknesses are a gift for personal reflection and spiritual growth. Will enhanced people be more superficial; and if so, what is "enhanced" about that?

Model for a Sculptural Circuit to Illuminate a Street Lamp, 2016

Here's my first shot at a model for a public art installation of electronic characters. They are situated on a circuit board made of astroturf, with traces marked in turf paint. The circuit uses solar power to charge a battery, which then illuminates a street lamp when ambient light levels are low. The overall dimensions of the model are 20" x 20" and the scale is 1 inch = 1 foot.
