Electric Body Manipulation as Performance Art: A Historical Perspective.
The authors trace the history of electric performance art. They begin with the roots of this art form in 18th-century experiments with "animal electricity" and "artificial electricity," which were often performed as public demonstrations in royal courts and anatomical theaters. Next, the authors ske...

They begin with the roots of this art form in 18th-century experiments with "animal electricity" and "artificial electricity," which were often performed as public demonstrations in royal courts and anatomical theaters. Next, the authors sketch the development of increasingly powerful techniques for the generation of electric current and their applications in destructive body manipulation, culminating in the electric chair. Finally, they discuss the development of electric muscle-control technology, from its 18th-century beginnings through Duchenne de Boulogne's photo sessions to the current work of Stelarc and Arthur Elsenaar. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Leonardo Music Journal is the property of MIT Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
