Gabriela Saucedo’s InsectBody is a work of Ecological Mythology. In this chapter, a posthuman reality is speculated where vertebrates and invertebrates are irrevocably linked. By integrating motion capture data from the artist own body with the hybrid body, the InsectBody is made carnal. Following the last life cycle of this creature, the relationship between humans and insects is under scored to serve as a warning for a disconnected future.

Gabriela Saucedo is an artist and writer based in Chicago. She works in 3D modeling, virtual installation, and web-based forms, concentrating on cognitive/spiritual impact of new ecologies and technology. She is currently pursuing her BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
