The Department of Industrial Design 2 and the Institute of Design present a lecture given by Lucy
McRae who is a sci-fi artist, director and self proclaimed body architect probing the frontiers of the body, health and human
adaptability.
Dousing technology in femininity she responds to complex future scenarios, inventing visually
iconic experiences that connects science with imagination.
Lucy McRae is an artist who straddles the worlds of fashion,
technology and the body. Trained as a classical ballerina and architect, her work – which is inherently fascinated with the
human body – involves inventing and building structures on the skin that reshape the human silhouette. Her provocative and
often grotesquely beautiful imagery suggests a new breed: a future human archetype existing in an alternate world. The media
call her an inventor; friends call her a trailblazer. Either way, Lucy relies on instinct to evolve an extraordinary visual
path that is powerful, primal and unique.
