Two thousand years ago, Ovid asked his readers to imagine metamorphoses in which men and women became flowers and beasts. Today, before our cinemasavvy eyes, people melt and reform as altogether new creatures: they 'morph.' This volume explores what digital morphing means both as a cultural practice specific to our times and as a link to a much broader history of images of human transformation.MetaMorphing ranges over topics that include turnofthecentury 'quickchange' artists, Mesoamerican shamanic transformation, and cosmetic surgery; recent works such as Terminator 2, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Heavenly Creatures, and Forrest Gump; and the transformations imagined by Kafka, Proust, and Burroughs. The contributors look not only at the technical wizardry behind digital morphing, but also at the history and cultural concerns it expresses.
