In Flesh Machine: Cyborgs, Designer Babies, and the New Eugenic Consciousness, Critical Art Ensemble focuses its sights on the new frontier of pan-capital — the political and economic development of flesh products and services. CAE begins mapping this development by examining the use of reproductive technologies to achieve an intensified degree of control over worker and consumer-citizen. This book aims to establish a counter-narrative to the spectacular promises of the life industries.
The Critical Art Ensemble is a virtual collective of radical arts theorists and critics, with members scattered throughout North America.
