Recursive Flesh — A Self-Driving Feedback Loop of the Body
Stelarc's body data generates a virtual AI body, which feeds back to the physical body through sound, visuals, and electrical muscle stimulation. Within this recursive loop — where the body's own movements become the origin of its involuntary control — agency dissolves. Where Fractal Flesh distributed the body across the network, Recursive Flesh turns the body back upon itself through AI.
