Summary/Abstract: In the interaction art, power and knowledge, Fuko determines the art as a meta-epistemical / allegory of the deep structures which reveal knowledge. The interpretation of the picture of Piccasso Girls from Avignon (1907) by Fuko, means to notice structural oppositions: male narcisoidity, male deformity of aesthetic figures –bodies and the frontier between genders and functionality of the Other. Deformity/asymmetry of figures, leads to exclusion, of inferiority. In the context of postmodern feminism, concretely functional thought of Liss Irigare that woman did not have a respected place in the history –woman as eternally other.. An important component in the post-structural analysis of the discourse is the term difference. The extended confrontation among different concepts, makes them functional. The analysis of the sense determines the opposites: woman / no – male being, male no – female being. Deconstruction means function of the difference: counter position and opposition / being different. The dominant term of the western thought functions through bipolar classemes: idea/matter, similarity/difference, word/letter, essence/de-essence, female/male, soul/body. Having it in mind the process which was noticed by pragmatic art works –from woman as eternally other till woman as nomadic subject, today entropies the process after the logic of schema idea of Ann Sterling for interaction between culture and physiology, so to say the cultural impact restructures the brain cells or the logic of cyborg philosophy which a contemporary dilemma is set. Donna Haraway for female cyborg „that opportunities of our reconstitution are not found in the rebirth, but in the utopian dream of hope in a monstruous world without genders for overcoming the gender difference through realisation of body in the medium gender, post –organic and trans-human.
