The artist conceived 3D printing of the human body: the introduction video was a bit horrified

Recently, a 56-episode video "Modular Body" introduced a project called "Oscar". The project tried to use 3D printing technology to achieve a modular body. The concept was proposed by Floris Kaayk.

In the 1970s movie "Invincible Iron King Kong", the starring suffered a serious injury in a flight, and the subsequent organ transplant surgery gave him super power. Scientists are trying to use this opportunity to optimize the structure of the human body.

"Oscar" can be seen as a contemporary version of this concept. Kayk said: "I am thinking, why do we print the same organs as ourselves, instead of taking the opportunity to optimize the organs?"

At present, we are still unable to judge Kayk's concept because the "Oscar" project has not become a reality. Kayk is a Dutch visual artist and not a bioengineering expert. "Oscar" is the protagonist of an online novel that has attracted attention on YouTube, Facebook and other social media.

According to the story told in the video, Oscar is the idea of ​​the scientist Cornelis Vlasman, which is based on the general human body structure. However, rearranging human organs is not easy.

Kayk said: "If we can print organs and parts of the human body, why not completely redefine and redesign the human body?"

He believes that the human body is a closed system, repair and adjustment are relatively difficult, and "open modular body will be immortal."

You can see the complete video through the "Modular Body" website. This site has a dystopian style design.

However, it should be pointed out that the idea of ​​"Oscar" is not yet a reality.

"If you learn more, you can see that research in this area is still in its early stages," said Kayk. "It is not yet possible to print organs that work and vascularize. Such concepts remain in science fiction. in."
