This paper participates in the discussion about the configuration of what is commonly being referred to as ‘the posthuman condition’ by addressing the technological transformation of the human body and the cultural and political inflections of this transformation through the exploration of Jennifer Egan’s “Black Box.” The paper interrogates the implication of the fusion of flesh and technology and the re-conceptualization of the body as information, thus enabling insights into how these changes affect subjectivity, individuality, and the stereotyped understanding of gender hierarchies.

Maciej Ożóg ‘Time Capsule’ by Eduardo Kac as Experimental Analysis of the policy of the body in a society of control Ożóg analyses the project entitled ‘Time Capsule’ by Eduardo Kac, one of the pioneers of biological art. Artist’s work is interpreted as a voice in the debate on the consequences of computerization of the biological body and the specifics of bioinformatics’ supervision and control. Controversial artistic and existential action by Kac touches such issues as transformation of individual identity in an era of biotechnological remediation of the body, the relationship between the material, physical body and its virtual-information mapping, the activity of the embodied subject in the context of the dynamic development of various tools of digital surveillance, as well as the specifics of control mechanisms and supervision in the era of bioinformation technologies.
