Stelarc

on

Stelarc’s art is very, very peculiar. He uses the human body as his main focus and finds ways to manipulate it or combine it with technology to make it work differently. I feel that most of his work is in a way disrespectful to the human body, for example the ear on arm. There is no logical reason to want to have/ grow an ear on someone’s arm. He is toying with science and engineering to see how far he can push it and what he can get away with. I just feel that he could use this knowledge for better and more humane things than his wacky experiments. But i guess that’s what made him famous.
