Abstract

The debate about "the future of man" will be shaped by a new convergence of disciplines such as chemistry, molecular biology, biotechnological arts, neurophysiology, genetic mixing, and artificial intelligence.                                                                                                                                            

Through this study, we intend to address and search for possible creative relationships between these disciplines Or what is known as the “NBIC revolution.” the "post-human , These relationships that would allow humans to achieve a higher level of well-being such as changing the color of the skin, the size of the nose and cheekbones , According to Raymond Kurzweil, in the year 2030, we can subtract and remove most of our organs and cells , We will have nothing left but our skeleton, where our skin and our sexual and sensory organs can be replaced, , mouth and brain, It is possible for everyone to improve or to alter and transform by means of Nano-technologies and new devices, And our skeleton will become stronger, more aesthetic and more resistant, The skin will transform into a more rigid tool capable of responding to cold, heat and other natural factors.                           

In this study, we also tried to search for the common relations between "post-human" and "post-human art", as the latter takes many forms, including visual art, performance art, digital media and biological art - which is used as a means to access biotechnology. - Based on contemporary bio-artistic experiences, similar to the works of Andre Carney, Annie Cattrall, and Orland.
