Abstract
altPersona: clusterTeratoma activeHomunculus reAnimation is an art installation that uses the concept of a fictional artificial being to question our dark attraction that motivates the creation of alternative lifeforms. This thesis exhibition integrates elements of actual scientific and technological research to fabricate the fiction of a live cluster of tumor forms able to feel and respond to stress. Its uncanny aspect triggers a suspense in disbelief in the viewer as it is programmed to behave like a living organism, fearful of the bodies that surround it. The intention of altPersona is to trigger a visceral response to establish a form of empathy towards the illusion of an artificially fabricated being.
