‘Ear on Arm’ by Stelarc (2010)
(Lorne Sculpture Exhibition)
Medium - laser cut styrene, urethane skin (400 x 120 x 100 cm)
Born Cypres, resident of Melbourne
“A life size replica of my ear on my arm was laser scanned. The data was used to scale-up the sculpture to ten times its actual size, becoming four metres in length. The length of my arm is now the length of the finger of the sculpture. The styrene form was laser cut with a skin of urethane applied to produce a tough, water resistant surface. The Ear on Arm project attains a physical presence, a modified bodily fragment that asserts something other. The sculpture was fabricated with the assistance of Cameron McIndoe, and was funded by the Fundere Art Foundry.”
Stellarc is currently Chair in Performance Art, Brunel University West London and is Senior Research Fellow in MARCS Labs, at the University of Western Sydney.
