bodies
By david On August 15th, 2006i don’t have time to really talk about it much because i’ve got other things to attend to…today on npr i listened to an hour on the recently popular exhibits which display human bodies. yes, real, once living, human bodies. if you haven’t heard about it, it’s really kinda extraordinary. the cadavers are shown, stripped of their skin, in a wide-variety of positions, such as playing chess, doing yoga or throwing a baseball. it’s pretty controversial, especially concerning how the bodies are obtained (the shows claim that they are from willing donors who are fully aware of their intentions)…but it’s also wildly popular. when i first heard about it, i was a little turned-off, but now i’m kinda intrigued. if you go to the website, you can see a couple examples from the show: bodies: the exhibition. anyway, i might post more about it later this week, after i’ve had time to contemplate it more fully. do y’all have any thoughts?

This exhibit has been (was?) here in Atlanta. I haven’t gone to it. I dunno, it kinda creeps me out. Not sure I’d enjoy it very much.

I was listening to NPR when they talked about plastination. Creepy stuff, man.
