© www.patriciapiccinini.net Piccinini explores what she calls the ‘often specious distinctions between the artificial and the natural’. By displaying the similarities and differences between the organic, natural and our constructed material world, Piccinini challenges our classification of life. This inspires her to combine human and animal physiology and technological development in many of her works.

Hi. I’ve loved the music (as well as the art, of course). Does anyone recognize the piece of music being played? I’d appreciate it if you could post the name of the composer & the piece. Thanks!
The shots of the boy playing play station, in Piccinini’s world he is a cloned boy, when you take a closer look he is covered in wrinkles. In the gallery space he leant against a wall like a bored child, I was startled by his stillness and only then realised he was part of her body of work.
‘Dolly’ the cloned sheep was a scientific triumph but then aged at a rapid pace.
Piccinini’s installations are a commentary on genetic experimentation. The cloned sheep ‘Dolly’, the infamous picture of a mouse with a human ear growing out of it’s back. Where to from here? What does the futre hold? Her commentary also resonates of the great debate between science & christianity after the dark ages. I love her work.
maybe I watch too much sci-fi, but they just look like really detailed alien props to me- better than most of the watered down crap aliens we get in modern sci-fi stuff, in fact. So not sure what is so sick about that….
what are they
@tuckersgirl17 Thats the idea dude..
2:46 totally inspired by shrooms
I don’t find these “creatures” cute or artistic. I personally find them revolting. Just my opinion.
Not a bad video though!
this is the real WTF
I adore her artwork. It brings together the “gross” and the cute, challenging your emotions and perceptions of certain scenes. My favorites are the one with a child and a “beast” type. I’ve seen the one with the beast clinging to a human woman’s face at an art exhibit and was amazed at how detailed it was and the various responses to it.
AMAZING!
My scooter has become self-aware and my girlfriend is cheating on me with the new pet.
SO SICK!!!
wtf
@JateMaster Hahaha I really don’t like her work that much either, to be honest. The point of it is to make you think it’s gross – and then you see your own superficiality of judging something else by what it looks like. So, you’re doing exactly what she wants. It’s really odd and creepy, yeah, but clever in the way she manipulates her audience.
@nephildevil that’s exactly the response she’s going for.
5.02 is sasquatch
fugly, but kind of fascinating
@Revolationsz 1) I know just as much about her art as you do. 2) She is creating sculptures that don’t need to be scene. Even if it’s happening. It’s gross.
@JateMaster you must look at the deeper meaning of the art. art is not just about being aesthetically pleasing. there are themes, symbolism, assessing the setting, actions of piece or things in the piece and thought provocations involved. . Alot of her work shows what might be possible in the future and already happening in labs. Trans-genetic organisms and parahumans. The repulsion from seeing the art is the point. It is unusual and repulsive to us but could be normal to people of the future?
Fascinating !
what the hell is wrong with her? Her art is disgusting!!
What a great gift to the world of Art. Simply amazing!
@NicolaRedwooddforest Patricia Piccinini. I thought it was Adam Brandejs’ work. They are both very similar in their art and message to the world. I am so grateful to see such amazing artists.
Adam Brandejs is a genius. He is not only an amazing artist drawing precisely and fotorealistically, he has amazing ideas about the future, and he cares about animals and wants people to understand that animals are equal in value to humans, and that there are strange lookings animals in this world who deserve the same love as well, he wants to take us out of our dogmatic ways of thinking and start asking some questions about the world, he wants us to appreciate life in general and love more.
