Our bodies are being measured and analyzed, dissected and optimized. What are the limits of our self-knowledge? What is the actual essence of human life or where is it to be found? Must we or do we want to transcend the familiar limits of our bodies and enter into a post or transhuman age in order to have any future at all? The bodydatasphere reveals the data and secretions of our bodies.
