I am a cyborg

Posted by Bettina Tizzy

I am human. I am a machine. I am post-human. I am organic. I am synthetic. I am a better human.



I am the future. I am a series of devices and mechanisms and integrated circuits. I am also made of flesh.



I'm in the zone when I wear this avatar. Or is my avatar, any avatar, already my cyborg? In "The Cyborg's Dilemma: Progressive Embodiment in Virtual Environments," Frank Biocca asks how the sense of physical presence and our changing representations of the body in virtual environments affect our minds. As we drive and watch our avatars, embody them, are we not already part human, part machine?



This incredible avatar was created by Justen Jigsaw. Teleport to his shop directly from here.
