If you go and read the articles on his website then you'll realise this guy is amazing. Sure he has some really weird art pieces, but the things he's doing with cybernetics is extraordinary. He looks at how we should be re-designing the body - since it is somewhat limited and not long-lasting, and see how we can enhance our organs, anatomy etc, maybe not just practically (as in, you need medical transplants to live) but aesthetically.
i can remember a number of years ago people were saying that we could graft and grow tails, wings etc all purely for aesthetics. And is this all too different to what has been happening for years with fashion and ritual? I mean, people tattoo, scar, pierce and place silicone into their body all for aestheetics. Some people create horns and bumps, so what's wrong with an ear?
