- Interview with Stelarc
- Author(s)
- Tofts, Darren
- Abstract
- An interview with Stelarc, an Australian-based performance artist who incorporates themes of cyborgization and other human-machine interfaces in his work, and has explored the increasingly malleable relations between the body and technology, is presented. Stelarc is on the lookout for new performance stages, virtual, conceptual, and biological, where conditions of embodiment can be enacted and explored. He will answer some questions in an video interview, which includes his collaborative 2005 work with Nina Sellars, Blender, a shift from the immateriality of the virtual to the materiality of the physical, dealing with the visceral nature of bodily matter. He will also answer his interests about the zombie as a philosophical and technological concept and how does he see these works operating as a kind of zombie aesthetic.
