Stelarc

Stelarc is an Australian performance artist who has done many works with robotics, suspensions, and movements of the human body. He has constructed many prosthetics limbs that work along with his body to make himself a biotechnological work of art. Stelarc has a fascination with the movements of the human body. This fascination has turned into a love for robotics. Another thing he has done is suspend his body in the air with hooks and strings going through his skin up into the ceiling. 

To be honest, I don’t really understand most of his work. I think it is very strange. The prosthetics part is very interesting but I do not understand the hooks in his skin thing. For that reason, I have posted a picture of one of his robotics works. I like how he is working to improve the movements and ability of the human body through the use of robotics technology. It’s like he is trying to skip a stage in the human evolutionary process. He has made some other limbs like robotic ears, legs, and a head.
