STELARC'S SCREWED-UP ART BODY

By VBS Staff

Stelarc is a Greek weirdo who lives in Australia and uses medical equipment, prosthetic limbs, electrodes, virtual-reality systems, endoscopy, and crazy cyborgian human-internet connections to produce shows that fuses the lines between art, performance art, body art, and some kind of futuristic Skinny Puppy electronics trade fair. RIght now he’s setting up a big retrospective in Paris with artifacts and clips of all all his old favorites: Virtual Arm, Stimbod, Stomach Sculpture.

We dropped in to get his thoughts on the present state of transhumanism and see what abominations of biological science he’s been working on lately.

Oh, and he also has a human ear grafted onto his arm.
