'I want prosthetics to be accepted like glasses' Self-described bionic pop artist joins Katy Perry on stage to celebrate diversity
How would you visualise disability? Chances are, Viktoria Modesta wants you to imagine something different.
"If we start to challenge what it means to be normal, the concept of disability is challenged also," she says. British-Latvian Viktoria was injured at birth and chose to have her leg amputated in 2007 when she was 20 years old. "I never really identified as a person as disabled," she says, instead choosing to describe herself as bionic - a hybrid of biological and artificial materials.Viktoria says her prosthetic has given her chances to explore new opportunities through emerging technologies."Going into zero gravity, you don't really need to be fully 'intact'," she says.
