It argues for a re-evaluation of biological limitations, questioning the future of the body as we know it. The text chronicles Stelarc's provocative artistic interventions, including his renowned body suspension performances, which challenge conventional notions of physical autonomy and identity. It illustrates how these radical acts serve as a commentary on the body's potential obsolescence and its ongoing transformation through science and art. This profound volume offers a meditation on posthumanism and the evolving relationship between flesh and machine.
