I would like to do something which represents the recent notion of creating children through science rather than naturally. For the actual project I am thinking of presenting babies in glass tubes almost like what you would see in a film where there is a science experiment taking place.
These ideas spark my interest because I feel as if they represent the dystopian future that will emerge once technology reaches its peak and humans will possibly be useless to society.

Lillian, these are both strong ideas. What happens to economies, and the people within them, as labor becomes increasingly automated? Perhaps you could create an image that combines both utopian and dystopian predictions regarding this issue. While working conditions have improved over the centuries, many jobs are still very physically grueling, and yet people are unable to turn them down without access to education and other resources. In terms of "engineering" babies, this is certainly a fascinating topic. What sorts of traits do you imagine parents might "elect" for their offspring in an effort to improve their physical, social and economic success?
