Stelarc: I hope that people are offended by my art. I hope that in a way people are offended at the way that science has made the human body obsolete. I want viewers to feel and think when they see me hanging from flesh hooks or be enraged when they see my "Third Ear" for perhapes it will reawaken and reanimate what seems to be a dead society.
Question 3: Where do you see art and society moving in the future?

It seems to me that more and more emphasis is placed on how mechanical everything is and less emphasis on its actual form and beauty.
Janine Antoni: I would have to agree. That is why I try to incorporate some of the most basic human practices into my work, to remind others that there is still form and beauty in this world regardless of knowledge.

The connection between the Catholic Church and morality has come to be stronger in the recent years in spite of the fact that it does not essentially function based on morality alone. To a certain degree, one might be inclined to consider that the Church is wrong in promoting anti-abortion simply
0 is "…a broad name used for a number of different experiments that are being done in the research community" (Reddy & Goodman, 2002, p. 12). The emphasis here is in 'experiment' as Web 2.0 is a platform for the testing of new applications and innovation, as well as being an area for research and development in education and science. The differences in the way that Web 2.0 functions can be
Cold War A Critical Debate of Cold War in 'Origins of Modern World' By definition, the term Cold War implies a state of no war and no peace between two opponents. It is the kind of international rivalry in which states use all types of measures (including political, economic, social, diplomatic, technical, military and paramilitary) to achieve national objectives, however, it avoids overt armed conflict. It is a jargon, which is generally
Fire: A Debate Over its Origins The ability to control fire was clearly a turning point in human history, although the conditions which enabled humans to master the ability to control fire remains controversial amongst anthropologists. The fact that it was understood that fire was a significant milestone is evident even in myth, as the god Prometheus is depicted as offering fire to the first humans, and thus giving humans godlike
Ethics of Stem Cell Research Stem Cell Research Ethics The Ethics of Stem Cell Research: A Nursing Perspective The Ethics of Stem Cell Research: A Nursing Perspective When the world-famous cloned sheep, Dolly, was euthanized at the relatively young age of 6-1/2 years she was suffering from advanced aging and lung disease (Meek, 2003). In human years, Dolly was only about 40-years old and had been suffering from arthritis for many years. This outcome
