  2. Thats fucked ass up, but I dont particularly find it to be wrong in any way.
     
  3. that would piss me off if i donated my body to science and i found out some dick was making american flags
     
  4. Why? Who gives a fuck what kind of flags hes making?

    Would you be equally as pissed if he made a jamaican flag, or an iranian flag?
     

  5. yes but he isnt
    so thats not the case.
    the point is
    it has nothing to do with science
    or even art
     
  6. that is fucked

    If someone wanted to donate their body to art they would have done so. If its not helping in the advancement of science and human understanding they should have been buried...
     
  8. I don't see anything wrong with this.

    What's really the difference between cow skin and human skin? We slaughtered the cows against their own will, that's the only difference I see.

    I think he should start up a line of furniture, maybe Wal-Mart would sell it for him.
     
  9. I think its interesting

    more power to the guy


    the people are dead and donated their body to science I dont think they care to much they are dead.
     
  10. This sounds like the guy is some fucked up psychopath and is using 'art' as his excuse for handling dead bodies and making artifacts from human skin.
    "What the fuck are... ("Oh hey man") what the FUCK? Is that SKIN?" ("Oh.. umm, yeahhhhh... it's.. umm... it's like, for this art thing I'm doing... yeah") "Thats fucked up man"...
     
  11. but when u slaughter the cows u do it for their meat
    its going to happen either way
    so atleast when u use the skin for furniture u are using as much of the cow as possible
    but taking a human body that was meant for scientific purposes and making a flesh flag or boots or walrus/manatee (i cant tell) is just pointless and disgusting.
     


  12. First, those are only a few pictures soz ya never know ;)


    Secondly, theyre sculptures, and things people made. Sounds like art to me. Though I dont know why bodies donated to science ended up in the hands of some silly artist.
     
  13. this is slightly twisted...
     
  14. Don't worry, you'll be dead so you won't find out ;)
     
  15. I believe that even if you think of a dead body as nothing more then property the owner (the diseased) was still under the impression that their body was going to be used for something more then decoration. It just seems a bit degrading to me. I mean I believe that once someone has passed on the body no longer represents them but still...
     
  16. I'm sure the rest of their bodies were used for scientific research.

    I doubt they skinned the bodies, gave this guy the skin and then just threw the rest away.
     
  17. That's pretty neat, and this is art btw
     

  18. well said
