Been looking at my
guestbook...Osmium, as far as I know
quote 677 is original to me, and it and its inspiration
quote 676 were
illustrated in
this kisrael.com entry from early 2001. (I had made up the graphics long before that actually, and had been thinking about using them as a splash page for
alienbill.com.)
Who is Bozo 13? Thanks for the vote of confidence, and yeah, I do look a
lot like my mom.

"Whole Body Gestalt
Plastinate with Skin" |
This
art exhibit has been getting a lot of attention lately, probably because the British government is considering stopping it from showing there. A scientist artist has developed a method of perfectly preserving corpses, plastination, which actually has a number of scientific uses as well. The exhibit is mostly skinless people, some further cut open to reveal internal organs (including a chess player with his brain exposed.) The
channel4 coverage had the most representative
online gallery I've found. I think it is brilliant, both as an educational tool (showing us anatomy in a way textbook illustrations only hint at) and as an artistic piece (inviting people to ponder their own mortality and "meatness").
