I find Stelarc's art to be something of it's own league. Technology is what advances this world and is what, we as human beings, are obsessed with and couldnt live without. Stelarc takes this to the next level by intergrating technology into himself. His third ear on his arm is so random, but is something that has never been done before. By him installing this and creating a place on the internet where people can log into and listen is incredible. It allows the public to be a part of his artwork. I also think his third arm is a unique invention. In my opinion it's an invention but I guess that means it is art. By combining technology into his artwork he's showing the deep routed connection society has with technology. Stelarc is also famous for the many suspensions he did. Here he would suspend himself from the ceiling with hooks. By correctly balancing and placing the hooks in certain locations around his body he can successfully hang there. I particularly like the suspension with the rocks that are used to balance him. All in all, his work is quite interesting and unique.
