Chichevaches and Bicorns
Bicorn … is a mythological creature with two horns that has the reputation of devouring kind-hearted and devoted husbands, and is thus plump and well fed. His counterpart is the Chichevache, which devours only obedient wives and is therefore thin and starving.
Insect Lab is a project by Mike Libby that combines real (dead) insects with clockwork gears.
This hybridization of insects and technology from both fields, is where Insect Lab borrows from. Insect Lab celebrates these correspondences and contradictions. The work does not intend to function, but playfully and slyly insists that it possibly could.
I think I might want a steampunk spider.
Wim Delvoye is a Belgian conceptual artist who by all accounts has done some pretty weird stuff. I’d not actually heard of him until I came across this post on Fabrik Project about his tattooed pig farm.
Delvoye started creating tattoos on pig skins from slaughterhouses and then began working on live pigs bred in a farm studio complex in China, using images such as the Louis Vuitton design and Walt Disney characters.
Wim Delvoye’s website has more of his projects (and is also one of those annoying Flash isometric town sites).
