Lucy Mc Rae

With films and installations produced in collaboration with researchers from a variety of disciplines, Lucy McRae explores the ways that technology, medicine, and marketing and branding test the limits of bodies, desires, and belief systems. McRae’s works confront audiences with the many ways that science systematically attempts to eradicate human weaknesses, raising questions about what it means to be human and whether humans without vulnerabilities would be human at all. McRae explores art’s ability to communicate science’s emotionality and make the impacts of its advances more palpable, empowering an informed public to participate in more inclusive conversations about science’s social and ethical implications.
