ABSTRACT
The cyborg, whatever formulation it might have post-Haraway, has challenged the specificity of the ego, the separation of the social from the epistemological, and the sanctity of the natural. The manifesto of the cyborg had informed author own grapplings with the semiotic machine of art-science/science-art. The cyborgian state of A-S/S-A is committed to theorizing and constructing an epistemic platform for sustaining socio-political-biological-psychological balance that operates outside the artifice of dichotomies, silos, and disciplinary rules. However, that cyborgian machine must still be fed data. Data across temporal and spatial scales coalesce into a spectre of an idea, before it consolidates into concepts, artifacts, and objects that could be subjected through experiment, be it a thought experiment, a virtual simulation, or one performed out at the field or in a laboratory. Emergent potentialities are usually without precedence; a life that is just taking shape is full of promise but without surety of fulfilling that promise.
