In conversation with the body conveniently known as Stelarc

[...]they have done some studies on this and they have discovered that if a person with an alien-arm pathology is standing in front of a mirror and if you ask them to button up their shirt one hand goes to the shirt but the other goes to the mirror image. [...]the body has been designed to function on a surface to propel itself forwards on a surface, to feel a surface, to see a surface. Stelarc Well, I think the world doesnt work in such simple hierarchies. Because what happens is that I might not have the money to develop a virtual reality system but when that is developed I can turn it into a means by which I can explore awareness and agency. [...]if I try to lip sync the voice that is coming from my mouth I will be like a bad foreign movie [laughs].
