It behaves differently depending on who is wearing it. The other prototype is Frison, a body suit that reacts to being blown on by igniting a private constellation of tiny LEDs. Both measure skin signals and change light emission through biometric sensing technology.</div>Oli Merquiorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08981684121299181628noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-99647275507804693.post-89117688781761502832007-08-06T07:38:00.000-07:002007-08-06T07:40:07.531-07:00Data Fountain<div align="justify">"In the morning paper, I can read the weather report as well as the stock quotes.

Briand and Lang have shaped a very ambitious project that explores identity and social behavior through its individual and collective dimensions.<br />This performance was inspirited by some of the most interesting and disturbing visions in literature and cinema, touching up the sci-fi imaginary and its questioning of the future of society and human nature.<br />Did you ever want to be someone else?

It cannot cope with the quantity, complexity and quality of information it has accumulated; it is intimidated by the precision, speed and power of technology and it is biologically ill-equipped to cope with its new extraterrestrial environment.<br />The body is neither a very efficient nor very durable structure. It malfunctions often and fatigues quickly; its performance is determined by its age. It is susceptible to disease and is doomed to a certain and early death. Its survival parameters are very slim - it can survive only weeks without food, days without water and minutes without oxygen.<br />The body's LACK OF MODULAR DESIGN and its overactive immunological system make it difficult to replace malfunctioning organs. It might be the height of technological folly to consider the body obsolete in form and function, yet it might be the height of human realisations. For it is only when the body becomes aware of its present position that it can map its post-evolutionary strategies.<br />It is no longer a matter of perpetuating the human species by REPRODUCTION, but of enhancing male-female intercourse by human-machine interface. THE BODY IS OBSOLETE. We are at the end of philosophy and human physiology. Human thought recedes into the human past.</div><br /><div align="justify"></div><br /><div align="justify">Read more: <a href="http://stelarc.va.com.au/">http://stelarc.va.com.au/</a></div>Oli Merquiorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08981684121299181628noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-99647275507804693.post-28585931476056390442007-05-24T17:49:00.000-07:002007-05-24T17:53:43.259-07:00Living Doll<div align="justify">Cindy Jackson is an artist and public personality who has successfully taken control of her own life by redesigning her body in the popular image of the western feminine ideal.
