The Australian artist Stelarc has grown an ear on his arm. He first got the idea back in 1996, but took a while to find doctors w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶a̶d̶v̶e̶n̶t̶u̶r̶o̶u̶s̶ ̶i̶n̶s̶u̶r̶a̶n̶c̶e̶ ̶c̶a̶r̶r̶i̶e̶r̶s̶ w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶a̶ ̶s̶i̶c̶k̶ ̶s̶e̶n̶s̶e̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶h̶u̶m̶o̶r̶ willing to do the work. The ear looks pretty much like an ear now. Stelars plans to insert a microphone into the arm ear, and connect the microphone to the internet, so that people around the world can hear through his arm ear.
He said, "People's reactions range from bemusement to bewilderment to curiosity, but you don't really expect people to understand the art component of all of this."
