| description | This essay offers an insight to the contemporary inhabitant’s relationship to technology
as a key to the transition toward a Post-Domestic realm. It does this by contemplating
Transhumanism as a model for what I have termed the Trans-Domestic interior, positing
that a Postdomesticity does not yet exist. To do this I consider discourses beyond design
and domestic environments that have shaped the understanding of the inhabiting self.
Using evidence derived from Christian teaching, evolutionary biology, historical fiction and
contemporary film, I explore how deviations from traditional socio-spatial arrangements
produce other modes of domestic life. Notably, it is Transhuman inhabitants, who are
shaped by technologies of connectivity, enhancement and surveillance, that will edge us
toward an unknowable realm – the Post-Domestic interior. |
