Abstract
This paper explores the emergent field of posthuman design and how that both challenges and fuels human creativity. Posthuman design investigates the aesthetics and materiality of new human-computer design assemblages. In this convergent techno-cultural landscape, new confluences of technology and human creativity are arising at increasing pace, incorporating a complex network of elements. There is not scope to cover everything within this study, however I will sketch an overview of the concept, delve into posthumanism as a philosophy and look at some essential techno-social forces of interest to current design culture.
