Average Customer Rating: 4.5 (4 reviews)

Rating: 4
Summary: outer limits
Comment: a uniquely mind-opening work that deftly explores the "cutting edge" of severe anatomical explorations.

A forbidden work that surely upsets conservatives everywhere.

Rating: 4
Summary: Blurring the lines between body, mind, and machine
Comment: This book contains interviews, essays, and art from some of the most cutting edge body artists, authors, and fringe culture critics from around the world. Stelarc, Franko B, Ron Athey, and Orlan all give their take on why they do what they do. Sex, cyborgs, freaks, and the eroticism of destruction are all examined. This is a book for those who think without boundaries. Only a few selections which drag or seem out of place keep this from being a 5 star work. For more content like this, also refer to 'Suture : The Arts Journal', edited by Jack Sargeant (also a contributor to this work).

Rating: 5
Summary: not for the average customer
Comment: "Body Probe" goes beyond grotesque. This isn't about mere critiques of Stelarc's, Orlan's or Marina Abramovic's work. This isn't a book for the kind of people who'd wonder whether this is art or not, this isn't a book for the average reader. You have to seriously consider the human body as the most complex and beautiful art subject to enjoy this. You have to believe that the mutant flesh is about to become the next trend. After reading "Body Probe", you'll be sure the cyber culture is here for good and it has the most intimate ralationship with the flesh, an aesthetic revolution that has no turning back.
