Featured AMP Member Olivier Goulet is a French transmedia artist whose vision explores the crossroads of activism and human design. Through an examination of the emotional body, he decodes the principle of identity. In projects that explore humanity as a species in the process of disappearance (Moults, Boxes of Hominoid Insects, Human Hunting Trophies), he imagines a mutation of human body, investigating the painful journey from egocentric individualism towards optimal collective identification and networking (The Relic of Bionic Man, Brain Rezos). Since 2001, his work is focused on the SkinBag project, which uses synthetic skin to create a metaphorical fusion between the organic and the digital. Goulet's work was featured in AMP's Body of Art exhibit.
