Posthumanism is a relevant philosophical concept based on rethinking the role and place of humans in the universe in the context of the dynamic development of technologies and environmental challenges. The lack of unanimity in the explanations of the concept of posthumanism as well as the variability of its interpretations are related to its interdisciplinarity and the diversity of methodological approaches to its study. By looking at posthumanism through the lens of artistic practices, we try to understand complex philosophical ideas through their reflection in works of art, thanks to their embodiment in artistic images. In this way, we can uncover regularities in the processes that take place in different realms and scales of human existence, emphasizing the interconnectedness and interdependence of all forms of life and systems. Through the study of artworks characterized by the use of digital media, artificial intelligence, virtual reality and other technologies, an attempt has been made to understand how art reflects post-humanist ideas and, on the other hand, the transformation processes of the mechanisms of artistic creation and methods of interaction with the audience under the influence of these factors. Such an approach can serve as a basis for discussions on ethics, morality and the impacts of technological change.
