Metabodies

A Dialogue Between Human Will and Machine Imagination

In her latest project, Metabodies.AI, Viktoria Modesta collaborates with AI models to co-author new embodiments, advancing the discourse on post-disability and meta-futurism. This avant-garde AI experiment reimagines the body in flux, rewriting itself through pain, instincts, and adaptation. It transforms human augmentation into a new aesthetic philosophy—a language of authorship that transcends biological constraints. Metabodies creates a feedback loop between prediction, experimentation, and lived experience. In this unfolding narrative, the body, technology, and virtuality intertwine, serving as narrative devices that shape and are shaped by the future.

Viktoria Modesta
Viktoria Modesta is a creative director, performing artist, and body architect whose work explores the scalability of identity and the human form across Earth, space, and the Metaverse. Through hyper-embodied art, science, and technology, she redefines how the human body can be designed, expressed, and expanded beyond biological constraints. From pioneering post-disability aesthetics in pop culture to conducting bionic experiments in microgravity and pushing the boundaries of human-machine collaboration, her work positions the body as a gateway to evolutionary agency. Her collaborations span global brands and institutions, including MIT Media Lab, NASA JPL, Rolls Royce, Elf Cosmetics, Ray-Ban, and Louboutin, placing her at the forefront of pop culture and innovation. Born in Latvia, Viktoria’s journey from medical intervention to artistic reinvention has transformed her body into both canvas and catalyst for a new vision of embodiment. Her groundbreaking performance at the 2012 London Paralympic Closing Ceremony and the viral music video “Prototype” established her as the world’s first Bionic Pop Artist, challenging societal perceptions and championing inclusivity in art and technology. Through her relentless pursuit of redefining human potential, Viktoria Modesta continues to inspire and provoke, embodying a future where art and innovation converge.
