English abstract

This article makes explicit the association of certain art forms to trans- and posthumanist ideas. It discusses a range of trans- and post- human art practices, identifying themes within trans- and posthuman art. It begins by defining the field of bioart in a way that captures the common ground between transhuman and posthuman art. It then considers interpretations of such works and rejection of their collective definition, by drawing attention to their socio-political and bioethical context. Finally, the paper consider how one may interpret the significance of bioart as a new creative medium.
