Performatywna TRANS/FUZJA. Poskramianie symbolicznego wampira

The article presents a group of selected projects form the field of bio-art, performance, and new media art. The symbolism of blood has been included to show the relationship between biology, identity, and technology. An analysis carried out by the author has resulted in a dilemma, whether these experiments create a symbolic gesture of crossing the boundaries of what is thought of as humane and in-humane, or are they a manifestation of fears connected with subconscious longing for anthropocentrism. Main points of reference for creative activity presented in the article are bio-power, bio-resistance and identity.
