    May 31 2011: Have year heard of artist STELARC? He has been putting these ideas into practise for decades. Some very interesting (and perhaps disturbing) work.

      Jun 2 2011: I have heard of this artist, albeit a brief 10-minute segment on a television show. He seems interesting, perhaps he would be called a pioneer of bringing human-electronic implants into popularity.

      I may look more into his recent work as it's been awhile since i've caught up with his latest art pieces.
