Abstract

This article takes post-human and cybersexuality as the main perspectives from which to contextualize the Taiwanese artist Lin Pey-Chwen’s (born 1959) Eve Clone series, on which she has been working since 2006. It describes how Eve Clone’s virtual body of Eve expresses Lin’s perceptions of the symbols and imaginings of the post-human. The latest Eve Clone series explores issues of femininity, but is also related to the religious symbolism that Lin has adapted in the creation of her work. Although using science and digitality to create art, Lin criticizes technical civilization while reclaiming the importance of nature. In Portrait of Eve Clone, the cyborg body has been created from the main technical operation of digital technology, and this adaptation of a digital body examines the discourses of both the body and sexuality. Lin’s Eve Clone has created a perfect being in cyberspace through artistic aesthetics and new media technologies.
