Ping Body

This piece of work is very interesting, The electronic media website actually has videos linked to this work and videos of how the system works. Stelarc is a performance artist exploring human/machine interactions. I wanted to know the importance of the third hand and threw a little research found out that there is actually history with the designed third hand that was completed in 1980, it was originally designed for a permanent arm attachment but because of issues with the device is used for performance purposes. With amplified body signals and sound have contributed to cyborg discourses of the body Which was used in the Ping Body performance at DEAF96.
