This weeks lecture is on body modifications, in the form of cybernetics, scarification, tattoos, etc. We looked at Margot Lovejoy, John Cage, Marina Abramovic amongst others. We also looked at Dr. Gunther Von Hagens, and his work (www.bodyworlds.com) involving dead people, embalming them and removing their skin, and posing them for display. This was disgusting.
Body modification (and decoration) is quite a broad subject, but doesn't really relate to textiles. I probably wouldn't use todays lecture in my work. Apart from possibly the idea of tattoos, as they are decorative.
