For anyone how would like to learn about Stelarc or learn more about him you can go to http://www.stelarc.va.com.au/
I really enjoyed doing a presentation on this performance artist. He is all about the interface of man and machine. I really agree with his work like the extra ear on his arm. He is saying that we have come to the point where we no longer have to wait a million years for evolution to give us things like opposable thumbs. We can now pick our evolutionary path. Not only will this technology in our near future allow a person to fix damage to their body but also alter it to fit their job or life style.
It’s also nice to see the artist and engineer coming back together. The engineer must remain open to ideas like this. Stelarc shows how an engineer can help art come forward. The idea and the means to make the idea a reality must go hand and hand.
