In today's class we talked about Stelarc. I found this extremely interesting because the man would do different experiments with his body. I cannot even understand how someone would be able to hang their body in the air by their flesh, mix their body fluids with another woman's, or even implant an ear in their arm. I cannot understand why someone would put themselves through the pain and how they can even stomach these things. I will admit though, I find it very interesting and I am curious to see this type of work which is why they probably do it to begin with, they know people will be interested.
The part of this class i enjoy very much is hearing about these kinds of artists. One's like Cindy Jackson, Orlan, and now Stelarc. I talked to a girl who had taken this class before and she told me to expect a lot more artists similar to them in upcoming presentations which I am excited to hear about.
Before talking this class, I never realized that this type of art existed. I would have never called this art before. I don't know what I would have called it. I believe that learning about these people have made the class very enjoyable. It makes me wonder what type of things people are going to try in the future!
