A Concept in Action: The Cyborg-authors

Main Article Content

Tatiana Bacal

Abstract

This article investigates new artistic agents who self-identify – or are defined as – producers, and who attribute “authenticity” to their creations and perceive “digital technologies” as important agents for their creation and inspiration. I suggest that these producers classify themselves through different self-denominations and that this category is being used to cover an “empty space” of definition to these agents. The strength of the category lies in creating mediations between different spheres of action. In this aspect, producers and their creations will be methodologically and conceptually considered “distributed persons”. This work is based on ethnographic Fieldwork with producers, trying to accompany them in their spaces of sociality, physical and virtual, and also observe their creative processes as well as their performances.
