Skin as boundary and surface, metaphorically and physically: creative and critical perspectives on skin and bodily transformation as it intersects with digital technologies.In re:skin, scholars, essayists and short story writers offer their perspectives on skinas boundary and surface, as metaphor and physical reality. The twentyfirst century and its attendant technology call for a new investigation of the intersection of body, skin, and technology. These cuttingedge writings address themes of skin and bodily transformation in an era in which we are able not only to modify our own skinsby plastic surgery, tattooing, skin graft art, and other methodsbut to cross skins, merging with other bodies or colonizing multiple bodies.The books agile crossings of disciplinary and genre boundaries enact the very transformations they discuss. A short story imagines a manufactured maternal interface that allows a man to become pregnant, and a scholar describes the evolution of body criticism; a writer uses faux science to explore animal prints on faux fur, and fictional lovers experience one anothers sexual sensations through the slipping on and off of skinlike bodysuits. Ubiquitous computational interfaces are considered as the skin of technology, and questions of race and color are shown to play out in digital art practice. The essays and narratives gathered in re:skin claim that the new technologically mutable body is neither purely liberating nor simply limiting; instead, these pieces show us models, ways of living in a technological culture.ContributorsAustin Booth, Rebecca Cannon, Model T and Sara D(iamond), L.
