Towards a transgressive hermeneutic of OMG THERE’S AN EAR IN HIS ARM
Stelarc is everything the famous-in-certain-circles Kevin Warwick would be, if Kev had more guts and less self-promotion.
I base this evaluation on the fact that Stelarc does bowel-clenchingly freaky things to himself and says he’s an artist, while Warwick does things any schmuck could do and calls himself a researcher.
It’s probably best that those of a delicate disposition not click the above, or look at this later picture either.
I think Stelarc’s a bit like Survival Research Laboratories would be, if everything they made had to pass through their bodies somewhere.
Further evidence: Kevin Warwick has said wanky things about Stelarc, but I don’t think Stelarc’s said anything about Kevin.
Heheh.. I was reading about this guy the other day. Apparently he is getting a microphone installed in it which is hooked up to the internet using a bluetooth connection :) http://blog.wired.com/tableofmalcontents/2007/05/stelarcs_amazin.html
