Amplified Body, Laser Eyes and Third Hand (1985) By Stelarc (X)

"'To be human is to be augmented, extended and enhanced by technology' actively and critically attempting to explore the potential of unexpected kinds of performative interaction in situations where you have the choice' to define the performance situation, and where because you are aware of what's going on, this loop of consciousness creates the possibility of response and interaction"

- Nicholas Zurbrugg, "Virilio, Stelarc and Terminal Technoculture" 1999 (X)

Research Post

Stelarc

Stelarc is a performance artist whose works focus heavily on extending the capabilities of the human body. Most of his pieces are centered on his concept that "the human body is obsolete", so he uses robotics or other relatively modern technology integrated with his body.

This is Stelarc's Third Arm. He gives commands to the arm using electrical signals. He is not replacing an amputated arm, he is supplementing his two existing ones.

The exoskeleton is a six-legged, pneumatically powered walking machine constructed for the body. 

Stelarc also had a cell-cultivated ear surgically attached to his left arm that connected to the internet. He also did many performances suspended in flesh hook suspension, often with one of his robotic inventions integrated. These truly merge technology with the human body. Not pictured here because they can look disturbing.

This is an artist that takes concepts that others have deemed science fiction and makes them reality in his performances.

Lygia Clark, Máscara Abismo (Abyss Masks), 1968.

Clark’s Abyss Mask was part of her Nostalgia of the Body series. It blindfolded the eyes and incorporated large plastic airbags weighted down by stones hanging from bags made of net. Clark often worked with simple and ephemeral materials such as plastic bags, stones, air, shells, water, sand, styrofoam, fabric, nylon stockings and elastic bands, which acquired meaning only in relation to the participant who used them in sensory explorations of texture, weight, scale, temperature, sound and movement. The objects produced real and imaginary sensations that aimed at connecting the body’s inside and outside spaces. Working along similar lines, Stelarc produced Helmet No. 3 as part of a series of six different helmets structured to split one’s binocular vision in various ways. They were the starting point of Stelarc’s relentless investigation of the limits and possibilities of the body. This helmet impeded frontal vision, stressing peripheral vision instead. Each eye saw unrelated sets of images that could not coalesce in a three-dimensional solid, but formed a combination of fragmentary images without depth. As the person walked around, the multiplicity of views–from the side, back, above and below–resulted in the person groping forward.

Identità mutanti

Contaminazioni tra corpi e macchine, carne e tecnologia nelle arti contemporanee

Definito la “Bibbia” delle contaminazioni e degli scenari performativi dell’età contemporanea, Identità mutanti è stato identificato e riconosciuto nel tempo come il manifesto teorico di una rete di contaminazioni tra universi teorici della mutazione. Da Ballard a Cronenberg, da Artaud alla Body Art, e ancora Tsukamoto, Stelarc, i Survival Research Laboratories, macchine biologiche, Brazil, Crash, i Mutoid Waste Company, Serrano, Orlan, Sterbak, Franko B., Aziz+Cucher, e altro, l’Autrice sviluppa un percorso che intreccia tre modalità: la carne, la contaminazione carne/tecnologia, le macchine. In sostanza, lo spazio invisibile di una umanità che sta inventando un nuovo mondo, tra voci, culture, modi di comunicare, slittamenti tra lingue e identità. Nel libro compare così il tracciato di un’arte che si dispiega fuori dalle costrizioni dell’addestramento culturale, un’arte che già utilizza il prelievo, lo spostamento, il campionamento, il mixaggio, il riutilizzo. Un’arte che già agisce in uno dei futuri possibili.
