Overview The term "cyberarts" is vague and relatively neologism; nevertheless, much of the work described by this term is rarely described any other way. For instance, a common type of cyberart which is produced programmatically by applying a set of design rules to a natural or preexisting process. A program could produce a few million such 'works of art' in a minute.

The word "CyberArts" is claimed as a registered trademark by Miller Freeman Inc., promoter of a series of multi-media technology conferences known as CyberArts International during the early 1990s.Linda Jacobson (ed.), CyberArts: Exploring Art and Technology. San Francisco, CA: Miller Freeman Inc., 1992; pg. ii.

"Recent works of bioart propose to connect the viewer, transformed into a user, with different biological organisms by pirating their biometric data using digital interfaces. These immersive aesthetic propositions are based on a plural conception of the human body, forged in the crucible of cybernetics. Their new modes of communication explore the alternative path of an ecological continuum where the user enters a becoming-cyborg, far from the classic representations of human-machine coupling. They encourage us to reconsider the notion of bioart, in favor of cyberart." Teva Flaman & Pierre-Luc Verville. "Cyberart : du mode d’existence d’un devenir-cyborg". Inter, numéro 128, hiver 2018, pp. 42–45.
