Abstract
This paper discusses the question about the possibility of co¬existence of human beings, animals and cyborgs. The first part of research inquires about wild, animalistic human nature Michel Houellebecq talks about in his work Elementary Particles with a specific focus on Baudrillard’s theory of world as flawed crime. The second part inquires about the idea of human being as transhuman being. I intend to lay out several hypotheses on contemporary tendencies in art and other practices involved in dealing with the future human as cyborg.
