It's kind of creepy how much it resembles Nike's line of eco-friendly shoes.

xod, the description of the media for the Vanitas piece is hilarious: "mannequin, flank steak, salt, thread, color photograph on paper."

To those poor souls unaccustomed to the power of the Internet it may be confusing to imagine the particular search terms used to discover this shoe. Don't be hasty in your ignorance.. for it is given that the shoe was made. Dear lord preserve us. For reasons beyond my ken I have a throb.

Me too, and while this is very cool, I feel a bit misled.

The organo-technology used to create [these gloves] is still experimental.

There is a sculptor, whose name escapes me, who makes incredible sculptures of animals from shoes. For example, a dynamic looking wild boar made from women's high-heeled shoes. Absurd on the surface, until you realize that we make the shoes from these animals, and he's only putting them back where they came from.

Hey, neat. It's meat for my feet. That's a shoe I could eat. What a treat! What a feat!

No, xod, pretty sure it wasn't Brian Jungen. It was quite a while back, in a book on sculpture called Space Invaders--great title, eh?

Thank you so much, Gamblor, for sticking a fork in that nearly healed (hah!) wound, twisting it open and pouring salty lemonade right in it.

a fleshed out shoe.
5 star ick.

mmmm.... Animatronic ( ... Moving, twitching, pulsating ... )
That's the worst part, really.
