June 2010 @ Nime ( new interfaces for musical expression) congress in Sydney; I got the chance to meet stelarc before he had to catch the plane to his homebase melbourne. After hearing his one hour lecture (showing some impressive videos of his ear on arm surgery ) the other day, it was great to talk in a more laid back atmosphere; I have to admit he can hook you into his passion and brings along an infectious (to stay with terms!) enthusiasm for the future visions of cyborg art and a lot more… For the project ear on arm he won the golden nica hybrid art 2010 at ars electronica.
Wada Ei tells us about his performance – we already gave a preview of this in the ISEA 2010 launched post. The next chance to see Ei Wada performing live is at the upcominc Ars Electronica Festival in Linz!
