What happens to the idea of the human body once it becomes measurable, trackable and increasingly entangled with instruments, data and technical systems? 

Moving across genomics, movement, sleep, computation, animal behaviour and self-tracking, Berson argues that contemporary bodies are being reorganised by the systems built to observe and optimise them. The result sits somewhere between anthropology, media theory and philosophy of science: a study of how technologies don’t simply record bodies, but help produce the conditions under which bodies are understood at all.
