Cyborgi, płeć maszyn i tożsamości rozszczepione
Cyborgs, the Masculine Sex, and Split Identity

Summary/Abstract: Writing about the relationships between new technologies and the theater, Jelewska chiefly bases her stance on Digital Performance. A History of New Media in Theater, Dance, Performance Art, and Installation by Steve Dixon (2007). Jelewska traces the relationship between science and art, and claims that “making art has, to some degree, become workshop research.” She then joins Dixon in stating that “European theatre is chiefly a technological product,” juxtaposing the Wagnerian idea of the Gesamtkunstwerk with the “contemporary understanding of the modern computer as a meta-medium, unifying all the media through a single interface.” She also ponders the changes in the concept of identity that arise from the encounter between man and robot, their combination into cyborg, and the existence of digital clones.
