Performance artists are known for pushing the bounderies, but one Australian has astonished his contemporaries by{{{{ having a third ear implanted onto his arm.}}}The Cypriot-born eccentric Stelios Arcadious spent 10 years searching for a surgeon willing to perform the controversial operation. He got his wish after working as a Research Fellow at Nottingham Trent University's Digital Research Unit. [[[The ear was grown in a lab from cells and implanted into the 61-year-olds left forearm in 2006.]]]Mr Arcadious said he thought art "should be more than simply illustrating ideas." {{{Once the ear has fully developed he hopes to get a microphone implanted as well."}}}It is more of a relief at present than an ear but it is still recognisable as an ear,"he said."The last operation was in September 2006 and its only now that I'm about ready for the next step."I hope to have a tiny microphone implanted to it that will connect with a bluetooth transmitter; that way you can listen to what my ear is hearing."An audience in Newcastle Centre For Life was introduced to Stelarc's latest project, a 'walking head' robot which will be a feature there for a month. The six legged robot with its head on a screen is one of the highlights of the Dott 07 design festival.It is programmed to respond to someone entering the room, so every visitor will be treated to a little robot dance.PS:I think this truly qualifies for the LOONEY TOONES WATCH SECTION....but it's a sad SIGN of The TIMES we are living in....end and evil times...
Now "anybody" calls themselves "Artist"...but the kind of "art" they produce is just a distorted and twisted version of art and it's the reflect of their state of mind....To me this fellow should profit from a psycho evaluation with a good provider that deals with "body image disorders"...This is the ULTIMATE BODY MOD,I've heard lately.....Sometimes I think I've seen it all.....!!!!!
I wonder how they reaaly got the ear....Is it human?then...did they take it from an aborted fetus...???What's going on there...???I guess there is always a freak doctor for a freak patient.....
As in the days of Noah....
