Stelarc - Stelarc

Anckarström R6, 1991

"The artificial hand, attached to the right arm as a third hand, motor mechanism picked up by a contact mic...Body processes amplified include brainwaves, muscles, heartbeat, pulse, blood flow... Actions such as flicking of the fingers, bending the arm, twitching the facial muscles, turning the torso, and lifting the leg bring forth a cascade of sound...buzzing, warbling, clicking, thumping, beeping, and whooshing sounds... The Argon laser eyes are modulated by the heartbeat, pulsing on and off..."

Stelarc - Stelarc

"Having spent two thousand years prodding and poking the human psyche without any real discernible changes in our historical and human outlook, we perhaps need to take a more fundamental physiological and structural approach, and consider the fact that it's only through radically redesigning the body that we will end up having significantly different thoughts and philosophies."
