Earlier this year, Stelarc finally found a medical doctor willing to 
implant a cell-cultivated ear beneath the skin on the artist's forearm.

The resulting body-mod is shown here. Photo by Nina Sellars, who is also 
married to the artist.

Stelarc is apparently planning to go through a few more surgeries to 
give it more definition.

"He's also going to implant a mic inside the ear that will connect to a 
bluetooth transmitter, so the ear can broadcast audio from the internet 
wirelessly," explains former BB guestblogger and sometimes Stelarc 
collaborator Karen Marcelo. "That Stelarc, always got something up his 
sleeve! He likes to say that too. "

He also has a walking robotic head (photos: 1, 2).

More photos of the arm with ear: surgery close-up (warning: extra 
gross), and here's a bunch more, including the rubber negative and cells 
growing in a petri dish (ew, looks like a shallow bowl of wonton soup).
