Man falls in love with the machine, which leads to the development of a certain new existence, biological-technological hybrid. On the other hand, this “humanisation” of machines brings changes in the perception of man’s own identity. It is very well visible in the Internet. Lots of people love “to play” with their identity, to melt in the kaleidoscope of artificially created identities. The simulation of a self has become extremely tempting. This tendency will develop with the development of opportunities offered by electronic simulation. Will we live to see the moment when our own identity deteriorates? In fractal structures of the net there are no answers to those questions yet, but they are worth asking.It seems that all the dreams of avant-garde artists fade when compared to what is offered by modern science with its whole technological base. The future has never been so close. We live in very interesting times, and that’s why we should devote ourselves to their profound exploration. Modern artists know that, and so they obsessively explore the space of modern media which have become something more than a mirror in which we can look at ourselves. Electronic media have changed our self-image. What is that we can see on computer screens? How strong does it influence our perception of the world? Where does man end and a machine start? Those most intriguing questions should last for a long time. But wait…”us” – means who?...Who is this “I” that is asking questions? Does the symbiotic relation between man an the machine allow such questions? Is there still any “I”, or is that another link which refers us to nowhere?
