tom-isaacs:mEat me - Theresa Schubert The artist multiplied cells from a biopsy of her thigh muscles in a serum made from her own blood. A few months later, the piece of in-vitro meat she had artificially grown exited the Educell laboratory to be eaten by the artist in front of the audience at Kapelica. During the first part of the performance, the artist sliced up a large piece of beef to recreate the biopsy during which a surgeon extracted cells from her leg. She then proceeded to prepare and eat the meat she had grown from her own flesh. The live event was accompanied by an installation, projections of audiovisual documentation of the laboratory process and the presentation of machine learning models that helped develop a complex narration around the topics of bioethics, animal rights and body politics. -- source link
