Stelarc...
a guy who believes the body is obsolete...he incorporates technology and robotics into his work...which is usually his body.
Yes...he has an ear on his arm.

Orlan is an artist who became known for doing performances while she underwent plastic surgery...she chose features from "ideal" women in artworks...such as the Mona Lisa...and had them implemented on herself to create a new identity.
Here is an interview.

and just because...
try looking up Cindy Jackson...known as the living Barbie doll...I think she's up to something like 61 surgeries now in order to look like her favorite doll...
here's an article about how Barbie has influenced our gender roles...

It uses the same mapping technology that we learned about last semester in a Wed. night lecture...
pretty amazing.

Here is a link to a short article about the color PINK...
in honor of our Foundations color...
written by David Byrne.
I bet there's a few things you didn't know about this fantastic color...
like it's history in Washington state...Tacoma (253!)...in correctional facilities.

and if you prefer other colors...
go here and search "colors" for other essays from Cabinet Magazine about an array of colors...
some you may have never heard of...
awesome.

AND...
speaking of Pink...
this book review happened to be in the New York Times...
about the possible effects this color...being heavily marketed to very young girls...may have on their development of identity and what that may say about our society...
interesting.
