To what extent are we already experiencing a man -machine symbiosis that has turned us into cyborgs?
To a certain extent, we always use the machine in our daily life. For example, we use mobile phone to connect with others, use watch to check the time, use computer to calculate something....etc.
Ususally, some people who have health problem would have some operation to implant machine.
For example, the heart disease patients sometimes implant heart pacemakers to save their life. Some people who is hearing disorder would use audiphone to help them in daily life.
What are some pros and cons of becoming a cyborg?
Pros:
1. more convenient
2. strengthen our body
3. make our body more beautiful as our wish
Cons:
1.unnatural, against the natural law
2. may be harm for our body because our body cannot adopt it.
What do you think of Stelarc's work?
I think it is systematic, lifeless and electronic. It looks like a robotic system.

ReplyDeleteYes, after inputting some technologies into our body, we just like a robot.
ReplyDeleteif one day, your best friend become a cyborg, do you think he or she is still the same guy? I really wanna know
ReplyDeleteys, it can "strengthen our body"...
ReplyDeleteit can give people an additional "function"!!
from my point of view, Stelarc's works of art combine mechanical elements into real(i mean flesh and blood) human body...these artworks may scare us..but they really bring enormous visual impacts to the audiences..do you agree?
