Stelarc

We was also introduced to another resource in the form of Stelarc.

Stelarc (born Stelios Arcadiou on June 19, 1946 in Limassol, Cyprus, to Greek Cypriot parents) is an Australian performance artist whose works focus heavily on futurism and extending the capabilities of the human body. As such, most of his pieces are centered around his concept that the human body is obsolete. Until 2007 he held the position of Principal Research Fellow in the Performance Arts Digital Research Unit at Nottingham Trent University in Nottingham, England. He is currently a visiting Professor in the School of Arts at Brunel University, West London. He has two daughters, one of whom (Astra Stelarc) has continued in his footsteps as an artist. - Taken from Wikipedia

After viewing this artsist's work, it reminds me of the Terminator movie series, where natural human characteristics have been combined with technology to advance humans. Removing the disadvantages of being a human (i.e feeling pain)in a war like environment, but it also raised up other disadvantages being a robot. It also reminded me about a character in the Tekken game series, his name was Yoshimitsu.
