AB - This study aims to revisit fundamental questions concerning life, systems, environments, and the human body as an experiencing subject by examining the concept of artificial life and its application in various humanities discourses and artistic practices. In recent artistic practices, artificial life has emerged as a theme that traverses the boundaries between subject and object, material and immaterial, embodiment and disembodiment. It provokes complex questions regarding the forms through which new technological entities may come into being. By shifting the concept of life to technological, mathematical, and relational dimensions, artificial life offers a framework for exploring the material foundations of the object and the conceptual transformations of subjectivity in contemporary art. This research focuses particularly on simulations, experiments that explore artificial life at its most fundamental level, to trace the emergence of the concept and provide an overview of early technical experiments from the 1950s through the 1990s. The study critically analyzes models of embodiment and subjectivity through the discourses of cybernetics, posthumanism, and virtual reality. Furthermore, it examines contemporary artworks that engage with the concept of artificial life, including the practices of Ian Cheng and MORAKANA.
