Doctor Ocktopus??


No. Stelarc who is an performance artist in Australia.
His works are involved in the concept of the body, a relationship between the body and the machine and technologies.
Have you ever heard about Symborg? It is an abbreviation of symb(iotic) org(anism).
you would already know cyborg. cyborgs and Zombies are just bodies, those are different from symborgs, as you see.

In his website, he says "The body is obsolete."
The world makes progress fast. Internet, Electronics, technologies and so on are developing fast while the body does not. So symborgs are able to expand, automate the body increasingly.
It can be seen fearful, useful. Think if you were Dr. Ocktopus, lose your mind under the machine.
