Im not sure if any of you saw stelarc on the news a few weeks back but he was something of a mad scientist, talking about his third ear which he has had surgically grafted onto his arm. Which he confirmed with a cackling laugh and frizzy (i've just be zapped by electricity) hair. A great character and one of my favorite artists. nether the less. His Third Ear i thought was a perfect example of Defomation of the human body. espeshally because he is trying to get it to become a working extremity(mad i told you). no matter which way you look at it i think its marvellous and fits right into this topic. the implant he had made is disolvable and gets slowly replaced by skin as the body breaks it down around the shape of the implant. pretty mad stuff.
