Stelarc, Muscle Control Demo - Transmediale 2007

[Beerftw]

Actually it's not about "fear of the involuntary movement" but rather the extension of awareness and remotely actuated split physiologies, which will be needed in the future, because you know, THE BODY IS OBSOLETE.

Nothing new, those stupid body toning machines have the same result when a constant current is used.

you're missing the point

Well Stelarc could have made his point about fear of the involuntary movement a little more elegantly than this circus side-show. I saw his keynote address at Transmediale and without Stelios' engaging personality this pitiless view of the human body is devoid of connection. It looks even more superficial and 80's everytime I see it m-m-m-m-Mad Max H-H-Hearoom style (with a bit of Overdog bolted on.)
