N2 - The life of images has taken a new decisive turn in our time, which transvisuality is called upon to address and reveal the facets of this complex phenomenon. This article aims to address one of the thorniest subjects of transvisuality: the anthropogony as transgenic and cloning. Taking further Belting’s line of thinking and his anthropology of image, the article approaches the subject in connection with the essence of anthropos and its substance – to deinon, that is, the awesome and duplicitary power of man given by technè. The first part is devoted to prometheia, the mythical origins of art as technè, and the violent origins of anthropogony. It moves into the analysis of the transformations of image in the era of bio-cybernetic reproduction, showing how scientific acts become aesthetic projects, art in itself, the latest expressions of technè. Extreme science generates extreme art – the transgenic. The transgenic shows how by closing the gap between human and transhuman, transvisuality radically departs from the classical models of ontology and visuality emerging into a new field. I call it transvisuality in extremis, the transhuman facet of anthropogony. This is the new staging of prometheia in history, the expression of unsurpassed human imagination and creativity.
