nettime-nl: Bionic Technology |
pressrelease by the Office of Scientific Investigation Dear reader, We live in an age which science progresses at the speed of light. Things we thought impossible a few years back, are accomplished facts today. What a shame it is that because of these tumultuous developments some projects tend to pass into oblivion! One of these projects especially we want to talk to you about: THE BIONIC TECHNOLOGY This is a technology that offers endless opportunities. It was the centre of interest at the end of the 70's because of one man: COLONEL STEVE AUSTIN, otherwise known as "The six million dollar man". A serious crash with his space capsule ended his career as an astronaut and almost took his life. Fortunately he was saved by bionic parts: one eye, one arm and two bionic legs. By his heroic actions against organized crime he became very popular within a short time, but alas..........we haven't heard of him for almost twenty years. Dr. Steiner and Eng. Wang, two scientist well-known for their publications in 'Readers Digest', Always kept on believing in bionic technology.To draw the attention of the public to this line of science again, they tried to locate Steve Austin. When they found him he was old and embittered and lived in a trailerpark somewhere in America. The key-question now was: how to reach as many people as possible with as little means as possible? Right! Through POP-MUSIC. OUT NOW: 'The new theme of the six million dollar man' by the OSI project http://home.worldonline.nl/~soundbox/OSI.html -- * Verspreid via nettime-nl.
