The enormous multiplicity of possible relationships can be grasped as sexual and connected to intense feelings of gratification. Hence, this meta- formance also enables us to move beyond a binary concept of sex towards metasex. These brief descriptions of movements beyond dualistic media are only brief hints of how the death of dualist media can be understood. The four media artist-scientists represent not only four movements from dualist me- dia towards non-dualist media but also different varieties of these developments. In stressing ontological non-duality, ethical plurality, and perspectivism within his artis- tic works, Jaime del Val represents a metahumanist version. With their projects includ- ing a strong affirmation of the use of technologies, Kevin Warwick and Neil Harbisson are more closely connected to transhumanism. In light of his emphasis on non-duality in his digital media projects, Dale Herigstad is most closely connected to posthuman- ism. Thus, the various creators discussed here represent a broad survey of what it can mean to transcend dualist, humanist art. My principal goal for this article was to provide suggestions concerning the cultural relevance and embeddedness of dualist and non-dualist media and to demonstrate that the presence or absence of certain types of media has extramedial relevance that can contain ethical, political, and social meanings. The processes to which I have referred are neither final nor completed. I have sought merely to suggest ways we might grasp the extramedial meanings of dualist and non-dualist media.
