Abstract

This contribution includes three selected works from an exhibition on Cyborg Encounters. These works deal with hybrid connections of human and non-human species that (might) emerge as a result of enhancement technologies and bio-technological developments. They offer not only an artistic exploration of contemporary but also futuristic aspects of the subject. Followed by an introduction by Melike Şahinol, Critically Endangered Artwork (by Ayşe Melis Okay) highlights Turkey’s ongoing problems of food poverty and the amount of decreasing agricultural lands. It displays seeds of a promising endemic plant to mitigate these problems using the seeds of the Thermopsis Turcica, a herbaceous perennial endemic plant. Ecomasculinist Pregnancy (by Burak Taşdizen and Charles John McKinnon Bell) follows the design fiction methodology and illustrates a future scenario through a patient’s diary and the medical letters he receives during his pregnancy with an extinct sea-lion. Polluted Homes (by Beyza Dilem Topdal) is a fictional art installation consisting of polychaete species evolved in time under the ecological circumstances prevalent in the Bosphorus and the Sea of Marmara today. These works show, that manufacturing life has consequences, not only for the human body and its physical appearance, but also, for example, for gender orders, the social structure of society, and even the environment, and thus for (re)shaping (non)living matter and their environments. This Art-Science Collection intends to provide an impetus for debate about the extent to which cyborg encounters should be taken seriously.

遇见半机械人:三种艺术与科学的互动
这篇文章包括三件来自电子人遭遇展览的精选作品。这些作品涉及人类和非人类物种(可能)由于增强技术和生物技术的发展而出现的杂交联系。他们不仅提供了当代的艺术探索,也提供了主题的未来主义方面。在Melike Şahinol的介绍之后,“极度濒危的艺术品”(由ay Melis Okay设计)强调了土耳其持续存在的粮食贫困和农业用地减少的问题。它展示了一种有前途的地方植物的种子,以缓解这些问题,使用的种子是一种多年生草本地方植物。ecomasculist Pregnancy(由Burak ta dizen和Charles John McKinnon Bell设计)遵循设计小说的方法,通过一位病人的日记和他在怀孕期间收到的一只灭绝的海狮的医疗信件来说明未来的场景。被污染的家园(Beyza Dilem Topdal)是一个虚构的艺术装置,由博斯普鲁斯海峡和马尔马拉海的生态环境下进化而来的多毛类物种组成。这些作品表明,制造生命不仅会对人体及其外表产生影响,而且还会对性别秩序、社会结构甚至环境产生影响,从而对(重新)塑造(非)生命物质及其环境产生影响。这个艺术-科学合集旨在推动关于在多大程度上应该认真对待电子人遭遇的辩论。

期刊介绍: NanoEthics: Ethics for Technologies that Converge at the Nanoscale will focus on the philosophically and scientifically rigorous examination of the ethical and societal considerations and the public and policy concerns inherent in nanotechnology research and development. These issues include both individual and societal problems, and include individual health, wellbeing and human enhancement, human integrity and autonomy, distribution of the costs and benefits, threats to culture and tradition and to political and economic stability. Additionally there are meta-issues including the neutrality or otherwise of technology, designing technology in a value-sensitive way, and the control of scientific research.
