Stelarc

This performance art is impressive. Stelarc's creations are the products of long invested time and effort. His third arm is amazing, he controls its movement with electric signals from his brain, wow. It was a functional limb, it was apparent through the example when he wrote EVOLUTION with his third arm. He loves robots. He pretty much turned himself into one at one point. He is an artist, a desginer, an engineer and a performer. He uses technology to improve his functions. The suspension performances he did were a little painful to watch but I have to admit they were impressive . I especially liked the suspension that he did when he was balancing his weight with a series of medium sized stones as he hangs from hooks attached to the ceiling, it was interesting to look at and figure out. I appreciate his suspension art because he adapted it from ancient Hindu Indian piercing. The piercings are very strategically placed in order to distribute the weight evenly. Moving onto the ear in his arm! That was so bizarre but really cool, I have never heard of anything quite like it. The things that Stelarc's mind comes up with is amazing...
