1. What do you think of Stelarc’s work?
-close relationship with the viewers as he used human beings to present his work
-very mechanical and systemetic
-violate the rule of nature, of human being, more like torturing when the man was hang up by the wire
-maybe ironic as human being sometimes work like a machine
2. What are some benefits or dangers of becoming a cyberbody (cyborg)?
-benefits
-longer live
-don't have to use so much money to buy something not necessary (because of the logical mind)
-enhance stablity, the systemetic mind can reduce mistake (lessen the case of emotional problems and being late)
-dangers
-identity confusion
-health problem?
3. “To what extent are we already experiencing a man -machine symbiosis that has turned us into cyborgs?” Christiane Paul (Digital Art, p166)
Overall, we have been so much influenced by the mechanical and technological era. People try to use different kinds of method to make the products identical for selling or ensure the machine system is 100% accurate to run a company. Whenever we make mistakes, we will be scolded by our boss. Human beings are not supposed to be perfect, but the society needs more and more precise calculations in order to run its perfectibility. So, to a large extent, we become more and more like a robot.
By the way do you like the work?
ReplyDeleteI find it horrible and very painful!
it seems you don't really like Stelarc's artworks....actually, i really cannot accept he has an ear on his hand...terrible..
ReplyDeleteI have a strong feeling of what you've said towards becoming cyborg. Yet, I don't believe it gives a longer live to human when we highly experiencing man-machine symbiosis. It is because the in-borm body structure is intrinsically perfect. It is useful and powerful enough to handle daily affairs. However, people are greedy and exhausting their body to gain as more as they can. Hence, life is ruined and we become unhealthy.
ReplyDeletei do agree with you that technologised bodies actually damage the law of the nature... it is actual not a "real" person...
