Artist implants 'third ear' on his own arm
Last updated at 14:22pm on 11th October 2007

Performance artists are known for pushing the bounderies, but one Australian 
has astonished his contemporaries by having a third ear implanted onto his 
arm.

The Cypriot-born eccentric Stelios Arcadious spent 10 years searching for a 
surgeon willing to perform the controversial operation.

He got his wish after working as a Research Fellow at Nottingham Trent 
University's Digital Research Unit. The ear was grown in a lab from cells 
and implanted into the 61-year-olds left forearm in 2006.

Mr Arcadious said he thought art "should be more than simply illustrating 
ideas." Once the ear has fully developed he hopes to get a microphone 
implanted as well.

"It is more of a relief at present than an ear but it is still recognisable 
as an ear," he said.
