Redefining the Body in Cyberculture: Art's Contribution to a New Understanding of Embodiment

The body, now more than ever, is perceived as another object in the external materiality where, as the lineage of Western thought so obstinately insists, the Truth is to be found. Eastern traditions like Sufi mysticism, on the other hand, offer a stark alternative: the physical reality is dismissed as illusion, the search for the Truth is essentially internal, and the self is not a segregated and detached entity but is an ever-interconnected part of the whole. We argue that leveraging both on the ancient wisdom of the East and the immense success of science and technology of the West, cyberculture can foster a new human condition of re-embodiment, interconnectivity, and re-unity. We maintain that contemporary arts, particularly in performative and collaborative forms, have much to contribute to this endeavor, and emerging technologies like biomechatronics and neuroprosthetics, which are acclaimed by some for their assumed contribution to the ideal of disembodiment, might be exploited by artists to promote a new understanding of embodiment and humanity's interconnectedness with the rest of the existence.
