Artist implants 'third ear' on his own arm


Performance artists are known for pushing the bounderies, but one Australian has astonished his contemporaries by having a third ear implanted onto his arm.

The Cypriot-born eccentric Stelios Arcadious spent 10 years searching for a surgeon willing to perform the controversial operation.

Artist Stelios Arcadiou has had the ear created in a lab from cells and implanted into his skin

He got his wish after working as a Research Fellow at Nottingham Trent University's Digital Research Unit. The ear was grown in a lab from cells and implanted into the 61-year-olds left forearm in 2006.

Mr Arcadious said he thought art "should be more than simply illustrating ideas." Once the ear has fully developed he hopes to get a microphone implanted as well.

"It is more of a relief at present than an ear but it is still recognisable as an ear," he said.

Would be interesting if his body rejects it and it gets infected and kills him. That's not art, that's a sickness.

This bloke has got form for some very strange things, but this one takes the cake indeed. Anyway he's late on scene. I once had a boss who threatened to transplant his foot into my arse, so there. :D

If he really wanted to get chicks he wouldn't be implanting things on his arm - and he'd get a second tongue.

Jeez I'm vulgar at times.

Oh well - :slap: - to me.

Now, the next thing he should do is look up the Wizard of Oz to get a brain....

wow, what an idiot of King Kong proportions, and shame on the surgeon who place his love of money ahead of respect for the field of medicine.

Of course, one can use the arguments you hear from trans-sexuals, he always "felt" he had three ears, or he was a three eared person trapped in a two earred body.... blah blah blah.. how is that so different than this????
