A Bionic Pop Superstar is Going to War for Science

“Over the past thirty years, we’ve seen several artists merge pop music with high fashion, but it’s not so common for a singer-songwriter to bring science and technology into the mix. Viktoria Modesta wants to do just that.

“I am a bionic pop artist,” she told Futurism in a recent interview. “My main aim, for the last few years, has been to bring science and technology and high art into pop culture.”

Complications during her birth led to a lasting problem with Modesta’s left leg. In 2007, she chose to have the limb amputated below the knee to aid her mobility and prevent any further medical issues. Since then, prosthetic technology has been a major — and hugely beneficial — part of her life.

“People dismiss sci-fi and technology as something that’s not cool and not glamorous,” she continues. “And I’ve kind of made it my mission to change that.”..”
