Metabody - by Gary Zebington
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
This site is an abstract of the cd-rom, Metabody: From Cyborg to Symborg,
an animated mapping of the territories of human-machine interfaces, robotics,
automata and avatars.

The rom includes a component archive of Stelarc's performances on video, photo
stills, writings and recent interviews; a short history and contextualisation of
human-machines, including early automata in reality and in fiction; and simulations
of various meta-biological processes which operate with the physical body via
website log files, internet activity levels and local (cd-rom) software interfaces.
