Tattooing, branding, scarification, surgical implants and piercing have evolved, or possibly re-evolved, from aboriginal 'rites of passage' into ways of bringing the body back to the foreground of experience. In an increasingly disembodied culture, these types of adornments can serve to make one's consciousness feel more 'at home' in one's body. Conversely, media artist and one time body modification spokesmodel, Genesis P-Orridge sees the body as an increasingly superfluous vehicle for our ever expanding minds. In his recent online essay 'Breaking Sex', P-Orridge speaks of bodily adornment as a Way of defying our physical restrictions: redefining what our bodies could be. Yogis, shamanistic rituals (suspensions), self flagellation
