The current research aims to forecast the impact of Metaverse technology on the ever-evolving landscape of communication and media, specifically focusing on Lebanese satellite channels. This study seeks to forecast how Metaverse technology will influence the media industry in Lebanon by envisioning a future where local satellite broadcasting channels incorporate this technology. Utilizing a quantitative, positivist, and deductive research methodology, this study employs a survey to collect insights from 100 professionals and employees belonging to six Satellite channels and classified into five classes. Respondents were selected conveniently based on their willingness to participate and they were equally distributed among the five classes. Data were input on the Statistical Product and Service Solutions (IBM SPSS version 26.0). A descriptive analysis was performed and a T-test analysis was conducted. The findings suggest that, despite varying opinions on the timeline of its widespread adoption, Metaverse technology is poised to play a significant role in communication and media, especially within satellite channels. Results lead to varying degrees of preparation, awareness, and readiness to take advantage of the full benefits of adopting the Metaverse technology. It is expected to introduce dynamic changes, including interactive and immersive content experiences, and offer audiences new ways to engage with media. These findings support the recommendation that Lebanese satellite channels should prepare for this transformative shift by investing in Metaverse technology, focusing on staff and audience education and engagement, and exploring collaborations with technology providers.

Over the years, there has been a turn in the academy that is adopted as the postmodern era which encompasses the posthumanist, and a shift within it to new materialist, and affect theories. Human-dominant influence over natural elements such as flora and fauna, non-human animals, material, and immaterial objects is subjected to a radical shift. The innovative understanding of science and technology plays a crucial role in this current wave. Posthumanist thought comes in contact with a human-centered society, however, proposing a decentralized approach to the way humans perceive themselves in the environment. The politics at play here is not anti-humanist but a revisiting and acknowledgment of the environmental entities that make up the human space. Therefore, this paper takes an expository inquiry, querying if the knowledge of Darwin’s evolutionary theory can be applied to the understanding of artistic performance through a posthumanist approach. Also, does posthumanism and the evolution of contemporary performance have what it takes to affect and effect the desired modification, granting agency not only to the human animals but to other non-human entities? Hence, humans must learn to coexist in the ecological space sharing power amongst things, plants, non-human animals, objects, and other forms of technological creations. Methodologically, the online library sources provide primary data for this research with a selection of works by three posthumanist performers to be analyzed. This research is pivotal to the artistic application of biology and technology, as tools in solving contemporary performance-related issues amongst humans, the organic and inorganic matter.
