“The Body is obsolete. We are at the end of philosophy and human physiology.”
Stelarc, 1991, “The body is obsolete”




“Bodies have become Cyborgs – cybernetic organisms – compounds of hybrid techno-organic embodiment and textuality. The cyborg is text, machine, body, and metaphor – all theorized and engaged in practice in terms of communications.”
Donna Haraway, 1985, “A cyborg manifesto”
