Life as a Biological Machine is a speculative media work examining the uneasy relationship between human agency and biological optimisation in the age of AI, gene editing, and neural interfaces.

Framed through data, systems, and clinical aesthetics, the project explores a future where the body is no longer experienced intuitively but managed algorithmically — predicted, adjusted, and enhanced in pursuit of efficiency.

Rather than celebrating progress, the work questions what is lost when life becomes fully measurable, editable, and optimised, inviting viewers to sit with the tension between technological promise and the quiet erosion of mystery, autonomy, and human friction.
