Fritz Kahn

While reading into my chosen route for this assignment, I came across the late Fritz Kahn, a science writer who illustrated the form and function of the human body.

I really like his work and believe it links in with the cyborg assignment because he is trying to put across that. Due to his medical background, being a gynaecologist gave him an insight into the way the human body worked and  due to this he produced illustrations such as the one above to show the complexity of the human body. I think that this comes across as saying the human body is mechanical and that we are cyborgs.
