Abstract (EN)

This study reveals the transformation of social life, human body and art with the effect of the exponential rate of progress of technology. The main subjects of the human body, social life and art are discussed in the context of evolution. This study has been studied in the light of the Third Culture idea and the opinions of philosophers, also called New Humanists, who support this thought, especially in the context of Raymond 'Ray' Kurzweil's Singularity theory. The main subjects of human biology, social phases and social generations in the context of social life, technology and art were evaluated in the evolutionary context; on the concept of post-humanization, which is a very new concept, a four-stage post- humanization process proposal was presented; the concept of cyborgization has been evaluated in a social and artistic context beyond being a human-machine combination; cyborg art and pioneer cyborg artists are explained and evaluated in detail as a separate section. Pioneer cyborg artists Neil Harbisson, Moon Ribas and Manel Munoz (Manel De Aguas) form the sample of the study.
