ABSTRACT
Chapter 6 considers the cinema-goer as the first cyborg and the cyborg in conjunction with information technologies. The uncanny cyborg is also a persistent topic in visual arts and culture as presented and portrayed in a landmark exhibition in 2001 and resulting catalogue in Vancouver. Human beings connected to and by information technologies are cyborgs, but whether they are (also) symbionts on a symbiotic planet ushering in the symbiocene is another question. This chapter makes the plea for being and doing so.
