In a world where science is outpacing philosophy and religion, how do we respond ethically to engineering babies, downloading our brains or creating meat in the lab? Will Christians take a self-disqualifying earth-is-flat approach? If we're to have a voice, what words come out? Artist and teacher Betty Spackman approaches the tensions of post-humanism and transgenics creatively and thoughtfully–literally 'artfully.' She's currently creating an art installation called "A Creature Chronicle" (with accompanying catalogue).
Brad Jersak caught up to her at her studio for a teaser tour and brief interview.
I love this. Cheering you on, Betty.
