what about nano technologies, nano-machines?
There are many researches in the field of nano technology but I do not
really have enough information -even- to speculate; since it is
quite new topic and publicly less known.
There are artist and researchers working with nano technologies in
this list, I guess. What would they like to add?

Just a quick note about "enhanced" (human)bodies.
We always consider the cyborg with "techno-mechanical" components. At
the moment, it is the Tour de France in France, one of the most, if
not the most, cyclist competition in the world. And with the (at
least, some) athletes taking "drugs" or "enhancing" their body
capacity via bio-techno-chemical means (= much more sophisticated than
the "usual" drugs like steroid and amphetamins).
Today, it can be said that quite a lot of people are actually
"enhanced" humans, but not necessarily through mechanical prosthetis
but through chemical ones. Of courses, it is obvious in sport at a
high level of competition. We hear a lot about it in the media during
the big world events. But it is also true in low level sport practice,
with people taking various kind of products and ... in many working
environments, where cocain and other kinds of drugs not necessarily
illegal are used to "keep on" with the mad pace and working stress.
The future (current) cyborg might be more chemical than mechanical ....
