--> This is the weirdness thing I've read in a while.
In the name of art, someone grew a coat out of embryonic stem cells.

I've been thinking of what I would grow if I had access to some stem cells. Lots of things! I am imagining a house full of little fleshy things. I think someday you'll be able to buy stem sells kits at the store and grow your own. Kind of like Sea Monkeys.

What would you grow?

I find this very creepy

Catts says his intention is “to raise questions about our exploitation of other living beings”.


God, I can imagine the stupid NEA grant he wrote to do this "art".

well they run their lab in perth, so let the australians worry about how much of their money foes to it

thats pretty awesome though.

reminds me of that moron who exhibited in NY w/ a bunch of aborted fetuses recently, such mindless art-school bullshit

One word: 15peter20: link

pffft, I remember similar conceptual art in 3rd grade, we called them "baby with no arms and no legs" jokes.

roshi, LOVE that video

I bet he does. 'raise questions' is such a cop-out. Nevermind growing tiny flesh jackets, grow some balls: Which questions? how do *you* answer them?

Yeah....i agree with cbit. Wanting to raise questions is like starting a thread about mac vs PC just to see what people say.

This isn't art, its flamebait.

I'd also like to call an extra Bullshit alert on the lady quoted as saying she didn't want to kill it.

As if she's some sort of life-creating Diety.
Oh yes, and I left some tunafish out on the kitchen counter the other night and this morning its covered in LIFE! LIFE I CREATED! To douse it in bleach would be MURDER. MURDERING MY OWN CHILD.

like any other bullshit con "artist" she thinks she can create drama out of her phony internal conflicts that a critic or curator somewhere will buy into. Bad artists thrive on that sort of self-absorbed shit stirring.

I'm growing Astroid a Big Dogs™ t-shirt out of jdg's stem cells. It might be slightly mutated.

big dogs lol

I think it's fucking awesome. Next version should have eyes that look around and blink
