I
needed about 4 or 5 plastic fetuses for an art project I'm doing (maybe
one day ill finish it and link it from here), but I could only find
them in 50-bags. One can never really have TOO MANY plastic fetuses,
so I went ahead and bought them and began giving the extras away to
friends and enemies. Around number 4 or 5, I decided to start documenting
thier fates for your amusement. Because everything I do, I do for
you, my adoring public...you ungrateful sons of bitches. Enjoy. Check
back often for updates.

The day I recieve my bundle(s) of joy in the mail, I put a few
in my bookbag and brought them along for company on the walk to
a bar show in New Brunswick. Along the way I picked a red tulip,
slipped a fetus into it, and put it under the windshield wiper
of some random car.

Fetus, the other white meat.
A friend of mine works in a deli, and shrinkwrapped the fetus
I gave him. It even has a custom label that says "Fetus,
Male, 6oz." He had some fun with it for a few days, slipping
it into the deli case, then later traded it for 2 shots, 3 beers,
and 6 cigarettes. None too shabby.

The Right Stuff.
This little guy was the finale for our fireworks show this 4th
of July. It was a perfect, staggered, 3-stage launch from our
custom-made 40 oz. launchpad. This little patriot went up about
a quarter mile and returned to earth unscathed, to fly another
day. Eat your heart out, Laika, you mangey Russian spacebitch!
This is true grit. This is a TRUE cosmonaut. He's got the Spirit,
that feeling.....that....AMERICA kinda feeling!

& 7.
6
& 7 were painted as Blue Demon, a Luchador (Mexican Pro Wrestler),
and Super Dave Osbourne, respectively. Then I tied them to "It's
a boy!" and "Baby Shower!" balloons, and gave them
to the mercy of the winds with the following message on a little
card.
"This
little explorer has been set free to wander the earth and find
himself. If you find him first, please write to XXXXX@datamancer.net
and let me know where he ended up. Thanks!"
I'll
keep you posted if I actually get any replies

Goodbye, little guy!
(my back is turned to the camera to conceal my quivering lower lip...I'm
really only half-kidding, it was a touching moment..I actually felt
for this small lump of plastic) |

Candling.
My
friend Jacob made this one. The fetus is inside a hollowed-out
egg and backlit with a candle. Farmers will use this trick
to check on the development of chicks in their eggs. Great
concept, great execution. Thanks Jacob!

Here
is his daring escape. hmm. I wonder... what a human fetus
would look like with an eggtooth?
