HUMAN 2.0

"Biohacking can refer to managing one's own biology using a combination of medical, nutritional and electronic techniques. This may also include the use of cybernetic devices for recording biometric data (as in the Quantified Self movement).”

— Wikipedia

In Finland biohacking and recording personal data has became uniquely wide and increasing phenomena. One is interested in using technology to update their lifestyle, the other perceives consuming coffee as biohacking. Many believe in becoming wealthy by the phenomena.

Still, there is a certain stigma around the topic. Some years back the people in the scene were called as ”cyborgs”.

During the project I started to question: Don’t we all would like to have a total control over our wellness?
