"Reflectionism" and "Diffusionism"Fig 8
Fig. 8. Primitive Identity established through a permanent/semi-permanent bonding with a prosthetic device, 1996. (Left eye was held closed during photograph to prevent damage from unmediated electronic flash.)

Bonding with a past device was found to be easy---the mapping was re-learned quickly. |
