In the thesis on the topic “Cyborg bodies in digital space: How Arca’s artistic journey is
drawing inspiration from Donna Haraway’s notion of the cyborg ”, I looked at the
videos created by Venezuelan musician and multidisciplinary artist Arca in
collaboration with Jesse Kanda, Carlos Saez, and Frederik Heyman through the prism of
Donna Haraway's notion of the cyborg proposed in her infamous essay Cyborg
Manifesto. As a result, I analysed Arca's videos throughout the years and found how
audio-visual worlds created by her were constructed in order to explain Arca’s story of
transitioning, exploring queer identity, body, sexuality and creating one’s identity in
digital space, as well as how they are related and inspired by Haraway’s cyborg.
