The text explores the porousness and openness of "synthetic bodies" to diverse possibilities of change, rejecting biology as an immutable destiny. Synthetic bodies are presented as complex assemblages emerging from processes of synthesis, transformation, and recombination—bodies that are collective, sympoietic, and trans-corporeal, revealing the interconnectedness of biological, technological, and social processes. Shaped by synthetic materials, these bodies challenge normative ideas of purely organic forms. Through concepts such as trans-corporeal materiality, posthumanism, and sym-politics, the text examines the ethics and politics of synthetic processes. It envisions ways to reconfigure our relationships with ourselves, technology, and the environment, aiming for a collective future of synthetic becoming, emancipated from the necessity to assemble and recombine within and against extractive infrastructures.
