Artists working with "extended body"

Here are two artists that I found interesting working in robotics and extended body:

1. Sonia Cillari- "“GATC/life is an immersive experience inside units of life." 
This is a virtual reality project. In a cube-like room there are 3D projections of genes and cells. 


2. Seemen Organization- artist Kal Spelletich and 40+ other artists working in robotic, interactive art. They encourage the audiences to interact with the robots and other machines. Some of their work even incorporates bio-feedback: where it can read heartbeat, movement, respiration, etc.

- EKG UNIT triggering flaming ring: The fire ring pulses with one's heartbeat 



-Monkey on your Back: person puts on gloves and monkey robot. The gloves have EKG and flex sensors to activate the monkey. The EKG picks up the volunteer's heartbeat and moves the tail and spine of the monkey.
