Takamatsu Media Art Festival: Sculptural Casts, videos and Photographic Image Installation

Abstract

As part of the Takamatsu Media Art Festival, Ars Electronica curated an exhibition of four Golden Nica Award winning artists whose works pose strong social questions in the realm of SciArt. The Stelarc exhibition included video installations of the “Ear on Arm Suspension” the ‘”Propel” performances, as well as two large video projections of the “Parasite” performance and the “Ear on Arm Surgery”. Also included was the “Stretched Skin” photograph and 3 “Ear on Arm” sculptural casts in glass, aluminium and bronze. The exhibition was essentially a retrospective of some of the artist’s major alternate anatomy works with further significant new biomachinic interpolations using 3D digital printing and robotics
