Re: [Yasmin_discussions] cyborgs skin and programmers

Hi Simon, and everybody

Your trail about cyborg flesh and robots' skin seems very interesting
to me. As I said in a previous post, I think one fruitfull way to
explore cyborgs is to investigate what kind of body they are. This
body question is not just a matter of envelope giving a look to more
or less sophisticated abstract programs. Nor is it the mere mechanics
allowing a robot to enact the programs it is supposed to perform.

The embodied interface is more than just a thin and smooth
interchangable skin, like in most 3D simulations. Skin is a surface
producing images, but it is also part of a body. Its thickness is even
more important than its surface. I think developing interfaces'
thickness and even roughness is an important task, parallel to the
task of making them smooth and fluid for better interaction. This is a
field where engeneers, programmers and artists meet.

David Cronenberg's vision, in the 1990s, was mindfull. In "Existenz",
he imagined "bio ports", organic connections between machines and
bodies. "Naked Lunch" is the story of a writer (William Burroughs) who
looks for the "black meat" extracted from centipedes from Amazonia.
There is a strong connection between this drug and his writing. His
type writer mutates into a beetle. Here, human language, machine and
animal body ("meat") fuse or mutate into each others.

Beyond the SF aspect, what about "cyborg flesh"?
