Alessandra Olivares, a recent doctoral graduate from the Department of Arts at the University of Bologna, studies the work of contemporary artists like Micha Klein, Erwin Olaf and Marco Bolognesi with the aim of analysing the effects that technology has on the idea of a human body. Her essay, entitled Contemporary Metamorphoses: Bodies and Identities in the Era of Technological Culture, analyses bodies modified through the use of computer technology creating works in which what counts does not seem to be the ultimate result, or even its aesthetic value, but the morphing process itself that made these alterations possible.
