Stelarc

The Blender

Stelarc was born in Limassol on the Island of Cyprus in 1946. He has performed 25 body suspensions and other numerous projects utilising his body. Most of his work includes prosthetics or some kind of "techno" gadget that enhances the human body. His work The Blender was pretty weird but it caught my attention, it is a bubble that contains fat from Stelac and Nina Sellars that was taken out during lipo. Then it periodically turns on and blends the content and they even included audio! Although I understand that he is trying to get his idea across I think some of his surgeries are a bit extreme. 

Stelarc & Nina  Sellars

His work is "based on the central idea that the human body has become obsolete or rather; biologically inadequate."

In his words, the human body "malfunctions often and fatigues quickly; its performance is determined by its age. It is susceptible to disease and is doomed to a certain and early death. Its survival parameters are very slim - it can survive only weeks without food, days without water, and minutes without oxygen."
