O'Tomorrow: Stelarc On Using Technology To Augment The Body

Performance artist Stelarc, joins Patrick O’Brien on O’Tomorrow to discuss his work using art and technology to extend the capabilities of the human body. He reflects on how technology has evolved over his lifetime, and how his performance has changed with it.

After performing for over 50 years around the world, Stelarc returns to Melbourne to collaborate with the BOLT Ensemble at Northcote Social Club, Thursday 14 February. 

Synthesised bracelets will allow his limbs to generate sound through choreographed movements.

“What technology does I think, is expose the inadequacies of the human body.”
