Abstract (EN)

Posthuman is the subject of futuristic body form that is structured on anti-humanistic basis which causes destruction of the norms that create the normal body and alliance with all species and nature by the improvements in bio-technologies. Posthuman has the potential to end both the identities and the gendered body formed either by evolution or social construction by retaining the initiative to shape his own body. Bio-Constructive body, shaped by the Posthuman subject, emanates from its Postmodern platform where the power conflict takes place. Posthuman artistic creativity is shaped accordingly with the structural destruction of the body by the Bio-technologies and the destruction of the social body and appereance of technological bodies as a result. Posthuman Art is reformed by the alliance of the species and glorifying life all around the planet. Association of Art and future technologies eleminates the border between artists and scientists. Under such circumstances, in the contemporary technological and cognitive era, the interest of the bio-constructive art can be summarized as reconstruction of the living. Key Words: Posthuman, Transhumanism, Bio-constructive art, Social Body, Technological Body
