The Cyborg as a Creation of Art (on the problem of human extension)
Abstract
The human beings have always been dreaming about their physical and psychical extensions. While the scientists are worried about eliminating the human’s physical drawbacks, replacing organs by artificial details, which embody and sometimes even exceed human’s possibilities, the artists are mainly concerned with the artistic side of this process. As a result of interaction between human beings and machines it is sometimes difficult to identify the source of fantasy: is it in the artist’s technologic mind or in spiritualized computer’s “brain”.
Keywords:
cyborg, the extensions of man, virtual reality, art of new technologies
