The extra era reminds me to think of my past students. Some of them have nice and complete appearances of ears but they are deaf or have problems in hearing. The way they tried to understand me is focusing on my mouth and body language to "see" what I talked about in class. Stlarc made a very vivid ear, a sculpture with perfect quality, which is composed by some very high technique but the small ear has no function. Comparing to 2D ear drawn on one forearm, this 1/4 scale 3D ear seems more strong and attractive. I don't understand why Stelarc hopes to have a microphone implanted to allow others to listen to what his extra ear picks up. It is unnecessary to duplicate one ear just for hearing what it picks by a microphone. He just need to set a microphone on his forearm. But I think there is one thing good that is the artist sets the third ear on his body instead of other animals.
