Dreaming to Disappear : Posthumanity and the Dissolution of the Self
Posthuman art is made from the mix of a specific conception of the body and of new technology’s imaginary. The fascination of the posthuman imaginary origines from it’s strange and troubling project : to solve the human condition’s fragility and incompleteness. In that regard, we will discuss here of posthumanity as a new faith. A faith that hope to create a new « being-there » (Dasein), a « being-there » without any kind of Alterity. Analysing Stelarc’s work, we will see that posthumanity is not simply a « science-fiction ». If it’s a fiction, it’s also, and at the same time, an answer, who wants-to-be scientific, to a transcendental desire.
