Abstract
The works of contemporary bio-artists – as part of transhumanist and posthumanist narratives – provoke fundamental questions: what to call artists’ experiments involving interference in the phenotype of living organisms? What is the purpose of projects seeking to construct biological-technological interfaces connecting humans with plants or animals? How do we determine the status of projects that interfere with living organisms and cellular-tissue structures, extending their functions and creating substitutes? These questions lead to the conclusion that the experiments produced in collaboration between artists and scientists are part of a cognitive turn that aims to perform knowledge at the boundaries of disciplines, characterized by uncertain status and creating new strategies of thinking. Key-words: bioart, transhumanism, posthumanism, experimental art
