Her award-winning work, The Third Thumb Project explores human augmentation and prosthetic extension. Dani is currently developing the project further with neuroscientists from the Plasticity Lab in the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London, exploring the brain’s ability to adapt to additional digits. She also collaborates with The Alternative Limb Project, designing sculptural prosthetic arms that have been exhibited worldwide.
