This research aims to understand the changes in the body potentiated by technological couplings in the work of Dutch artist Floris Kaayk. In his works, Kaayk discusses the dualisms found by the discourses of the mass media and through futurological issues, says the body as important vector capable of tense oppositions: natural and artificial, nature and culture, fiction and reality. What are the limits of technological advances on the body? Are we becoming cyborgs? Not to continue the dissemination of deflated terms, we divided the research into three areas that aim to deepen the notes found in the artist's creative process. In the first chapter "Communication bodies and couplings", we present a theoretical framework that situates the body in the field of communication and perception. At this time, we present understandings of the body as an exploratory system found in Lucia Santaella and James Gibson. Well as studies on the corpomídia developed by Christine Greiner and Helena Katz. The second chapter "Art and Technology" seeks, through a brief history, situating the body in artistic practices and their relationship with the technological discourses. The art meeting the new technologies plays an exploratory discovery, and the willingness to learn. Therefore, we rely on Julio Plaza to address the problem of art as discourse about the phenomenon and not as a representation of an idea itself. In the third chapter, we propose, through the analysis of three works: The Order Electrus (2005), Metalosis Maligna (2006) and The Human Birdwings (2012), create a path that relates to the understandings presented in the previous chapters. Our theoretical framework is still composed of the notes on technology and nature found in Ortega y Gasset and Vilém Flusser. The proposed methodology is based on studies of processes of creation in Cecilia Salles and Lucia Leão
