Stelarc

Stelarc believes that technology is an extension of the human body today, and that they human body is becoming more and more machine than every before.  6 million dollar man here we come!


I was also amazed by his performances with flesh hook suspension. I have seen it before , but the way Stelarc adds power to it, with the rock weights, this adds more abstraction to the piece.



Amazing! Stelarc using the power of the fluids in his body to allow the hand to write, not perfect but still "Evolution" The Ear in the arm was a little freaky, especially it being home grown in his arm, but with the experiments of gene splicing, plastic surgery, and transplants, who knows. I am amazed by the risk he used to put the ear in his arm, and how it actually affects his body somewhat.




I am also amazed by the spider like stands that Stelar controls. Like the arm uses fluid or humanistic body functions to move and operate.



To sum up, his work is indeed something to see, ravel, and invision for human technology and futuristic art expression. Interesting how the movies already thought of it and are using it in their films. With the power of evolution, maybe we wil have our own Surrogates or little Wally's to control. We should explore the possible this could benefit science and medicine but also be weary of how technology can become a obession and possible a disastor like in the movies Surrogates and Wally.
