Stelarc "Extra Ear Project".
"The EXTRA EAR is presently being constructed on my arm. A left ear on a left arm. An ear that does not hear but transmits. A facial feature has been replicated (scaffold with my own growing cells), relocated and repositioned elsewhere. Excess skin was created with an implanted skin expander in the forearm. By injecting saline solution into a subcutaneous port, the kidney shaped silicon implant stretched the skin, forming a pocket of excess skin that was partially used in surgically constructing the ear. When electronically complete it will form part of a distributed bluetooth headset. The microphone implanted in my ear and connected to a transmitter. The receiver and speaker will bepositioned inside my mouth. If someone telephones me on their cell phone, i will be able to speak to the remote person through the Extra Ear but will be able to hear the sound of the person speaking to me in my mouth. If i open my mouth and someone is close by, they will hear the sound of the other from within my mouth. STELARC.
