I recently looked at this book I found in the library called cyborg experiments. It looks at the extension of the body in the media age. Most of the book was quite wordy but this quote stood out:-
"If we study the work of Stelarc and Orlan closely it is clear that not only is their art a very political reflection on cyborgization, but it goes much further. Their work which is themselves a direct attempt to shape over cyborg future. It is pre figurative art." I think this quote sums up the work of Stelarc, who I have looked at, very well because the technology of today is always becoming developed and at some stage it will completely take over our lives, maybe in a cyborg sense.
