The aim of this article is to present art & science projects involving electroencephalography (EEG), and study them in terms of relationships between artistic narratives and medical procedures. Discussed are the works by pioneers of EEG applications in art (David Rosenboom, Alvin Lucier) and by contemporary artists (Lisa Park, Amy Karle), who are mainly interested in performances and relational installations. The author of the text analyses the projects with reference to the concept she introduces – biomediation (derived from Eugene Thacker’s theory of biomedia and a concept of mediation developed by Joanna Zylinska and Sarah Kember), pointing to the post- and transhumanist strategies used by the artists. She ponders on the extent to which the parameterisation and processing of bioelectric work of human brain may serve as a tool to expand the capacity of the human body-mind and thus create connections with ‘non-human’ constructs.

The article examines a special ontogenetic relation that is established between the biological body and physical forces during the procedures of medical imaging. Until now it has been considered only as the creation of a simple form of representation. Medical imaging procedures are special processes in which organic and inorganic matter is entwined, resulting in partial transformation of beings and creation of a new whole. In the text these entanglements will be considered in the context of the concept of ‘the phenomenon’, which is part of the agential realism’ ontology, established by the American researcher Karen Barad. Her approach to agency directs thinking about relations between different beings in posthumanistic and performative perspective. This relationship is illustrated by many artistic post-media projects that often use medical and biometric data to address important social problems (terrorism in the Diane Covert’s project) and diversity of living creatures on Earth (projects of Albert Koetsier).

The aim of the article is to present and analyse the phenomenon described by the author as ‘somatic narcissism’. It is a category that refers to self-tracking, i.e. techniques and strategies of self-parameterisation which aim to control, optimise and extend bodily and self-cognitive functions. As a form of self-expression and self-presentation, they are a new manifestation of narcissistic inclinations closely related to biopolitical mechanisms. The category of ‘somatic narcissism’ has been derived from the concept of Richard Shusterman’s somaesthetics and Nikolas Rose’s ethopolitics, revealing a reservoir of biopolitical normative tendencies that are aimed at the (self-)formation of the individual. Theoretical findings are discussed along with an analysis of artistic projects that illustrate the two poles of the described tendencies. The first one includes productions by Laurie Frick and Jacek Smolicki, which in an enthusiastic manner show new self-presentation options based on self-tracking and identity formation processes. The second is represented by Zach Blas whose work offers a critical assessment of the use of biometric tools for the purposes of self-creation. Juxtaposing them, the article shows different artistic approaches to the phenomenon of ‘somatic narcissism’.
