The skin as the traditional border between oneself and other bodies, between inside and outside, has become permeable—and has forfeited its clear function as identification mark. Identities in general have become ambiguous. It is now necessary to define and redefine, draw and redraw the borders between male and female, human being and machine (based on Donna Haraway).
