This contribution includes three selected works from an exhibition on Cyborg Encounters. These works deal with hybrid connections of human and non-human species that (might) emerge as a result of enhancement technologies and bio-technological developments. They offer not only an artistic exploration of contemporary but also futuristic aspects of the subject. Followed by an introduction by Melike Şahinol, Critically Endangered Artwork (by Ayşe Melis Okay) highlights Turkey’s ongoing problems of food poverty and the amount of decreasing agricultural lands. It displays seeds of a promising endemic plant to mitigate these problems using the seeds of the Thermopsis Turcica, a herbaceous perennial endemic plant. Ecomasculinist Pregnancy (by Burak Taşdizen and Charles John McKinnon Bell) follows the design fiction methodology and illustrates a future scenario through a patient’s diary and the medical letters he receives during his pregnancy with an extinct sea-lion. Polluted Homes (by Beyza Dilem Topdal) is a fictional art installation consisting of polychaete species evolved in time under the ecological circumstances prevalent in the Bosphorus and the Sea of Marmara today. These works show, that manufacturing life has consequences, not only for the human body and its physical appearance, but also, for example, for gender orders, the social structure of society, and even the environment, and thus for (re)shaping (non)living matter and their environments. This Art-Science Collection intends to provide an impetus for debate about the extent to which cyborg encounters should be taken seriously.

这份贡献包括三件选自Cyborg Encounters展览的作品。这些作品涉及人类和非人类物种的混合联系，这些物种（可能）由于增强技术和生物技术的发展而出现。它们不仅提供了对当代的艺术探索，而且还提供了该主题的未来主义方面。在 Melike Şahinol 的介绍之后，极度濒危的艺术品（作者 Ayşe Melis Okay）突出了土耳其持续存在的粮食贫困问题和农业用地数量减少的问题。它展示了一种有前途的地方性植物的种子，以使用Thermopsis Turcica的种子来缓解这些问题，这是一种多年生草本地方性植物。生态男性主义怀孕（由 Burak Taşdizen 和 Charles John McKinnon Bell 撰写）遵循设计虚构方法，并通过患者的日记和他在怀孕期间与一只灭绝的海狮一起收到的医疗信件来说明未来的情景。受污染的房屋（由 Beyza Dilem Topdal 创作）是一个虚构的艺术装置，由多毛类物种在当今博斯普鲁斯海峡和马尔马拉海普遍的生态环境下及时进化而成。这些作品表明，制造生活具有后果，不仅对人体及其外貌，而且对性别秩序、社会结构甚至环境等也有影响，因此对（重新）塑造（非）生物及其环境。这个艺术科学收藏旨在推动关于应该认真对待电子人遭遇的程度的辩论。
