The slideshow is a walk through the relationship between the body and its possible extensions. It is a stimulus to change perspective when we design objects, to consider them actual prosthesis (body themselves) able to affect the human body in different ways and so, to extend our perceptions. The focus of this chapter is the motor system. Lecture for the course Design2-3 "Body-Motion-Prosthesis" November 2012, Academy of Applied Arts LABA Rimini.
