Stelarc is an inventor/conceptual artist who is interested in "the process of declaring the body's transcendence of all conventional boundaries" (Shirley 57). He has produced a series of films of the interior of his body, lectured on "'man-Machine symbiosis,' 'Modified Man,' and 'The Obsolete Body'" (57). Of late, he has "begun staging events using an artificial third hand, hard-wiring his body with a variety of electronic enhancements" (57).
