Stelarc Performance Art

Dublin Core

Description

Stelarc’s "Ear on Arm" is a bioart project where the artist had a prosthetic ear surgically implanted on his forearm. The ear is not only a physical modification but also contains a microphone, symbolizing the merging of technology and the human body. This piece challenges ideas of identity, body enhancement, and the role of biotechnology in our lives.
