Bioartists Ionat Zurr and Oron Catts have grown a replica of an ear with living human skin cells.
plain yukkyyyyyy
a replica of an ear with living human skin cells, miniature wings with the flesh of a pig and mouse cells in the shape of a tiny leather jacket.
Stem cell experiments are no longer limited to researchers. A group of artists is making the evolutionary leap to the next medium: life. Bioartists create by engineering living tissue and even living beings, sometimes with controversial outcomes.

i think it's really cool. maybe because human body fascinates me.
anyone remember the Body Worlds exhibit? This guy, Gunther Von Hagens developed the method of plastination, another way to preserve bodies, and now takes some of his work around to science museums, and showcases his work. I went to his exhibit when it came to Toronto, and I LOVED it. the way the bodies were set up was just a work of art. all held in suspended animation. A ballerina, a skateboarded etc. Though the exhibit was presented in a sciency way, to me it still had aspects of being an art piece.

^ Man I so0o0o wanted to go to that. I was just too busy and couldn't :(. Hopefully next one. Lucky you. But I hate the fact that they don't let you take pix or make movie
