[dorkbotsea-blabber] technical consultant needed for art/music research project

[Carlos Castellanos]

It is for wiring up to a person - me. ;-) I am also a bit concerned  
about liability issues which is why i will only be using it on myself  
- at least initially.

Using an existing one is a possibility - ideally if I could find an  
OEM kit from a company that makes them I would try that.  No luck yet  
though

I am very aware of Stelarc's work (it's one of the  links I posted in  
the original e-mail)
