Founded and directed by the critic and theorist Francesca Alfano Miglietti (FAM), Virus served as the epicenter of "Mutationist" thought during the 1990s. Under Miglietti’s guidance, the publication moved beyond traditional art criticism to actively interrogate the fluid boundaries of the human form. At the core of this editorial mission was Miglietti’s pioneering concept of "The Modified Body." This theory posits that the "natural" body is essentially a myth; from the clothes we select to the way we style our hair, the human physique is perpetually being reshaped by cultural forces. By featuring radical figures such as Stelarc, Orlan, and Franko B, the magazine framed extreme physical interventions not as mere spectacles, but as necessary mutations. Survival strategies for a post-industrial world where the line between the biological and the technological has forever blurred.
