Parasites

1999/2001

The parasites are prototypes for small machines that have been attached to a human body. They draw energy from their host in various ways (making use of differences in body temperature, mechanical movement, etc. ) for their own use.

The picture on the right depicts the presentation of the Parasites during the Ars Electronica 2001. The three close-up images on the left, depict the details for the demonstration of the function of the mechanical hand.
