Its a Weird and Crazy World

This small leather jacket is make from mice embryonic stem cells. It is (was if its after may 12^th) an exhibit at the “Design and the Elastic Mind” at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
But sadly, it has died. It grew to large and the artists had to kill it.

“started growing, growing, growing until it became too big. And [the artists] were back in Australia, so I had to make the decision to kill it. And you know what? I felt I could not make that decision. I’ve always been pro-choice and all of a sudden I’m here not sleeping at night about killing a coat…That thing was never alive before it was grown.”
