Girl, You Crazy

Greetings, all! ... I SAID GREETINGS, ALL!!!

People do a lot of silly things for art. Famous silly art projects include filling fields with umbrellas [one of which later blew away and killed somebody...death by umbrella?! how lame AWESOME is that!?!?], sticking mirrors on trees [which, probably, due to the reflection of the sun light, burned the entire forest down a la ants under a magnifying glass] to show the life cycle of the pines or something, or gathering 1500 naked people around a historical monument [by the by, this is a good way to define the kind of naked that is in no way sexy at all]. However, this has to be the weirdest one I've ever come across, courtesy of the Super Mutants at Geekologie.



French artist Marion Laval-Jeantet has been injecting herself with horse's blood in her recent project, "May The Horse Live in Me," bringing horrifying irony to the term 'art installation.'

She could not inject the plasma initially but had to build up a tolerance by injecting horse immunoglobulins and glycoproteins over several months. In February of this year, she was ready for plasma that contained the entire range of foreign immunoglobulins. What happened was interesting in that her body did not reject them, but entered her blood stream and bonded with her own proteins. The results are stunning.


"The artist, during and in the weeks after the performance, experienced not only alterations in her physiological rhythm but also of her consciousness. "I had the feeling of being extra-human," explained the artist. "I was not in my usual body. I was hyper-powerful, hyper-sensitive, hyper-nervous and very diffident. The emotionalism of an herbivore. I could not sleep. I probably felt a bit like a horse.'"

I'm just gonna come out and say it...WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU!?

All about Va-Jay-Jays

Well, since this is a lady-run blog and all, I thought that we here at 8-bit Runway could take a few moments out of your day to talk about lady-parts. The mysterious va-jay-jay. The hoo-hah. The girl-down-there part.

NO NO DON'T RUN AWAY JUST YET.

Also, just kidding, Felix would never have condoned this. That's why I don't tell her about things before I do them anymore.

First of all, and where would you find this OTHER THAN on Warren Ellis' blog, motherfucking zombie dildos, made especially to make your hoo-hah happy, and your dreams scarred for life. And second of all, a robotic va-jay-jay that can give birth to a fake fetus. I assume this would be useful for some scientific purpose, and thats why they made it, rather than "Hur hur...LETSA MAKE A SEXY RUBBER'A LADY. ITSA ME, MARIO" (which is what I would have said, with all this science at my disposal).

These are things that you might not be able to un-see. YOU'VE BEEN ADEQUATELY WARNED.
