Envisioning Cyborg Hybridity Through Performance Art: A Case Study of Stelarc and His Exploration of Humanity in the Digital Age Cara Hunt Advisors: Janet Gray & Ken Livingston Spring 2015 Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a major in the program in Science, Technology, and Society (STS) ABSTRACT In this paper I argue that artistic representation has historically been and continues to be a valuable medium for envisioning new bodily forms and for raising important questions regarding changes in what it means to be human in an era of rapid technological advancement. I make this claim using Stelarc, an eccentric Australian performance artist, as a case study. Stelarc’s artistic exploration of the modern-day cyborg enacts and represents philosophical and ontological concepts such as identity, hybridity, and embodiment that are subject to change in the digital age. In order to arrive at this claim, Chapter 1 will trace the cyborg back to its use in 20th century Dada art.

Borst, 2009 All rights reserved. This work may not be reproduced without permission of the author. University of Waikato, 2009 i ii Abstract This thesis introduces and examines the undervalued concept of corporeal human- technology interface art, or ‘cyborg art’, which describes literal, figural and metaphorical representations of increasing body and technology integration. The transforming (post)human being is therefore the focus; who we are today, and who or what we may become as humanity increasingly interfaces with technology. Theoretical analysis of cyborg imagery centres on the science fiction domain, in particular film and television, as opposed to art.

  • PAJ 115 (2017), Pp
    Moving Marks Brooke Carlson Draw to Perform 3, live drawing performance symposium curated by Ram Samocha, The Crows Nest Gallery, London, July 30–31, 2016. he resurgence of drawing within contemporary art comes at a time in the digital age in which it is important to trace the traditions and conventions Tof what it means to draw. This resurgence is seen in recent museum exhi- bitions such as Drawing | THE BOTTOM LINE at S.M.A.K in Belgium (2015–16), annual festivals such as Drawing Now in Paris or The Big Draw in the UK, and in contemporary spaces such as Drawing Room, London (founded in 2002), specifically dedicated to the drawing discipline. Over the past few years, the per- formative aspect of drawing and the role of the body in the gesture has become increasingly prominent. Evidencing the physicality of the body in the drawing process has risen in response to the continually advancing digitalized and tech- nological versions of writing, drawing, and marking. By crossing over into the field of performance art, artists have begun to explore how far the gesture can be extended regarding method, process, materials, space, and duration. This investigation of performative drawing was highlighted at the international live drawing symposium Draw to Perform 3. Curated by Ram Samocha, an artist who specializes in performative explorations of drawing, the symposium opens up a platform for inquiry, experimentation, presentation, and discussion. From eighteen different countries, thirty-six artists with diverse practices and artistic backgrounds are drawn together to participate in the two-day event. The connec- tion between these artists is their constant query: “How can you make a mark and how can it be interpreted?” Organizing the event in two parts—a twelve-hour day of both short and long durational live performances, followed by a day of workshops mentored by six of the participating artists—the curator does nothing short of maximizing the opportunity for both artists and audiences to connect and share the experience of live drawing.

  • Performing In-Difference E-Interview
    Performance Paradigm 1 (March 2005) Performing In-Difference E-Interview Stelarc talks to Edward Scheer Edward Scheer: In part 10 of your manifesto, Parasite Visions, you point out the lack of physicality available to internet users and invoke the future of cybernetic corporeality with a combination of high-end equipment and the ageless figure of the phantom: 'As we hard-wire more high-fidelity image, sound, tactile and force-feedback sensation between bodies, then we begin to generate powerful phantom presences—not phantom as in ‘phantasmagorical’, but phantom as in ‘phantom limb sensation’. The sensation of the remote body sucked onto your skin and nerve endings, collapsing the psychological and spatial distance between bodies on the Net. Just as in the experience of a Phantom Limb with the amputee, bodies will generate phantom partners, not because of a lack, but as extending and enhancing addition to their physiology. Your aura will not be your own.' The ‘collapsing’ of the ‘distance between bodies on the Net’ recalls the idea that elsewhere you've called 'intimacy without proximity'. Might this be a solution to the very loss of interpersonal intimacy that some argue is a feature of the information age? Stelarc: Well, with the internet it's not so much a case of a lack of physicality at all, but an alternate kind of operational system which connects physical bodies and machines with physical bodies in other places. The reference to the phantom is therefore to that which can be generated by more haptic internet interfaces that will also include tactile and force feedback.

    Performing ARTs: Technologies of Participation and Reproduction from Body Art to Bio Art By Kelly Ann Rafferty A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Performance Studies and the Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender, and Sexuality in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Shannon Jackson, Chair Professor Charis Thompson Professor Brandi Wilkins Catanese Spring 2010 Copyright © 2010 Kelly Ann Rafferty Abstract Performing ARTs: Technologies of Participation and Reproduction from Body Art to Bio Art by Kelly Ann Rafferty Doctor of Philosophy in Performance Studies and the Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender, and Sexuality University of California, Berkeley Professor Shannon Jackson, Chair In order to articulate the contributions that experimental performance and feminist scholarship on reproduction have already made to one another and to highlight other fruitful areas for future engagement, I examine several key moments between 1991 and 2008 when two seemingly unrelated narratives have overlapped. These narratives concern (1) the development and implementation of reproductive technologies from the sonogram to in vitro fertilization to regenerative medicine, and (2) the expansion of a range of experimental performance practices in new media and bio art performance. The moments when these histories converge are marked by a series of performances by Deb Margolin, Critical Art Ensemble, Anna Furse, the Olimpias Performance Research Group, and the Tissue Culture and Art Project, and by a body of critical writings from the artists themselves and a group of performance scholars. This journey is also marked by strategic expeditions back into the 1960s to revisit and reinterpret foundational moments in the histories of feminist, activist, and new media performance.

We will discuss how individual experiences and imagination can become material for works of art while maintaining broader social and political themes such as identity politics, environmental activism, human rights, and technology. We will view works often considered shocking, marginal, or cutting edge by mostly women or international artists such as Bruguera, Orlan, Gomez-Pena, Fusco, Abromovic, Stelarc, Ono, who contextualize global concepts through personal stories and performance art (broadly construed e.g. performances, videos, installations, and sculptures). We will also discuss the work of writers who discuss performance art as an aesthetic and cultural force and who examine such works as ethnography, memory, therapy, critique, archive, or activism as well as art. Participants will develop several pieces of live, visual, or media art pieces throughout the semester, and contribute to the class blog. Class meetings will be heavily practice based and composed of a combination of lecture, discussion, in-class viewings, and student presentations/performances. Each session will also involve performance exercises that focus on performing identities. Finally, participants will critically and artistically inquire into philosophical, political, or cultural and personal questions related to the course topic through their own piece.
