(A little test of hubski's embed functionality.) This is a pretty cool animation of slices of a body. The body belonged to an executed prisoner. It was made into art from the following project by playing the video and physically moving the screen around in a dark room while a camera sat with an open shutter.
I wonder how the executed prisoner would think of this art? This reminds me of the "Body World" exhibit we saw in Chicago, which prompted the same question I have: Is it wrong to turn a dead body into an art? I don't have a good answer, I did feel a bit uncomfortable to be in the exhibit. However, if the art rekindles people's interest in human body from a scientific perspective, maybe it's well worth it?
I am not sure what I want to do with my own body after I die.
What I find quite striking is how different this looks from MRI scans, because we're looking at photographs of actual 1 mm slices of a body. It's also a bit disturbing to me to see the muscle, especially the thighs, and how much it looks like something lovely I might buy at the meat counter in the grocery store. Make me rethink me carnivorousness.
