Mach Comedy Fest is an amazing event – beautiful surroundings and an audience of passionate comedy fans. We spent two days there this year presenting ‘Enhanced’, our interactive pop-up exploring human enhancement. Hybrid Industries, our (thankfully fictional) human enhancement consultants, spent the weekend mildly harassing those comedy fans – encouraging them to consider how they might want to artificially improve their physical and mental capabilities. Meanwhile, experts in neuroscience, bioluminescence and genetic engineering from Cardiff University demonstrated some much more legitimate research, with fascinating implications for genuine human enhancements. Check out some photos from our occasionally damp but inspiring weekend…

Enhanced was developed by Green Man's Einstein's Garden in collaboration with scientists from Cardiff University and the Nuffield Council on Bioethics, and creative agency yello brick. It is supported by the Wellcome Trust. Discover the full story on our Projects page:
