cyborg identity

our human sense of physical self is no longer based on a body with a carbon substratum alone. by merging flesh, which has a carbon substratum, with silicon and other inorganic substrated devices like semiconductor chips, the human experience of a physical sense-of-self is altered by the properties and cultural factors of the absorbed components. the degree of assimilation varies strongly among people and no one sense of reality predominates.

in everyday-life, the identity of a person ..based on self-representation.. ist assumed to be fairly unchangeable. in virtual worlds, you can design your own identity (or several). here, identity is no longer based on a clearly differenciated self. it can be a puzzle of features and body-images that you chose - and, you are not bound to them; identity is a fluid state that can constantly be changed and redefined.
