Stelios ‘Stelarc’ Arcadiou
, a Cypriot-born, Australian-based philosopher and performer artist, has had an cell-cultivated ear surgically implanted in his left forearm. He plans to have a tiny microphone connected to a bluetooth transmitter implanted near his new ear so his audiences can listen to what it "hears".
The 61-year-old Stelarc shows his unique third ear at the opening of Dott 07 Festival at the Newcastle Centre for Life in England. Stelios Arcadiou originally wanted the ear grown on his head but abandoned the idea after doctors said it is too dangerous.
