"Becoming A Cyborg". All semester we've explored the idea of the cyborg, the half human, half machine. In this project, I showed a video by Nine Inch Nails featuring the super masochist himself, Bob Flanagan. In this video, Bob becomes one with a torture machine and essentially transforms into a cyborg. In the end, he ends up raping and killing himself. I thought I would give our class the same opportunity by using all kinds of untensils and metal objects to destroy/devour something defenitively human. Below are pictures of my process and to the right is the featured NIN video (may be taken down later for copyright reasons). Warning: Yum Yum.
