Alicia de Manuel is a PhD student studying the transformation of the body through data from wearable devices. She explores how self-tracking technologies allow people to quantify aspects of their daily life to gain self-knowledge. Her work examines how these devices can augment the body and extend it into a network connected to other bodies and objects. Through speculative design, she questions what role the augmented body may play in society and how technology can be used to explore one's own body.
