The xxth century idea of play is highly ambivalent in defining its functions. It lets consider a contemporary art as a form of play because of its “pleasure-genous” qualities. Different types of pop cultural activity (playing culture, playing with technologies, playing with fire, spooky plays and stories) establish many ways on which players get theirselfsatisfaction (between participation or anonymity, rational or irrational, haphazard and predictible, comic or tragic) and make the idea of play more homogeneous. Pop cultural entertainment as well as media art investigate the idea of homo ludens and pleasure given by diverse modes of participating in culture or expressing oneself. Homo ludens of our time not only is able to play, but also take pleasure in it.

Just like to unify so many different ways of conceiving what or – even better – who the body is in such kind of art. Is it an instrument, a medium, a subject or a work of art? Trying get the answer to this question I explore the essential functions of a body in art from three perspectives: firstly the cognitive one (including autoreflexive abilities of bodily experience), secondly from the perspective of positively understood limited nature of a human body, and finally I take into consideration a mediatory status of corporeality. In my reflections I base on Jean-François Lyotard’s and John D. Caputo’s philosophical investigations in a general nature of human experience and sensibility.What (Who) Is the Body in Body Art?
