The article deals with biomedical images in contemporary art from the Chilean artist Juana Gomez and American Laura Ferguson work. The transdisciplinary study aims to investigate to what extent the biomedical imaging appropriations are linked to the body's visibility devices. The theoretical foundation related the concept of Michel Foucault device with Flusser programming to discuss the role of the artist in the displacement of medical images for visual arts. The results point to a guarded and polyphonic body, the result of scientific research, recomposed by different visualities, in becoming constant.
