Abstract
The article is devoted to the presentation of the image of the future man in modern utopias of technological art. The author sees the peculiarity of the modern situation in Utopian Studies in the reorientation of utopian creativity from projects of global transformation of society to projects of human improvement, and in the latter case, from the socialization of the individual to changing his physicality. The “individualization” of utopia was complementary to the emergence and development of the transhumanism movement, which connects the possibilities of limitless personal development with scientific and technological progress in the field of bio- and nanotechnology. The emergence of transhumanism was a consequence of the convergence of two trends in new European culture: the atropomorphization of machines and the mechanization of humans (Tishchenko). Many representatives of technological art identified themselves with transhumanism and became conductors of its ideas into artistic culture.
