meat man

So, my meat man project has been a thorn in my side for a few years now. Basically, I want to build a man, out of meat, electrify him while projecting the Who's Rock and roll circus performance of "A quick one while he's away."

It's such a great performance that I would love to MAYBE have my home-made meat man react to it. Argue with me that he should be watching the Animals or fucking lady Gaga... he'll be watching the Who. It's a great performance whether or not you like the music necessarily. Their energy is wonderful.

So the problem is the actual MAKING of the meat man. Sewing slimy meat is a bitch, and without some minor training in robotics or even puppetry, it's gonna be a slight task.

But I want to do it. So, i've been practicing and here are a few pictures.

The above picture was a try on his forearm. Didn't work and the wiring was difficult. Plus, it's not as beautiful as I wanted, which is the whole point. But, since I was sewing the forearm with "gizzards and hearts (mostly gizzards)" - said the box - I came across a really pretty heart.

I found them beautiful.

So what remains from this particular trial is 1. keep working and 2. something nice should come from the trials. La-dee-da.

p.s. this trial took only about an hour and didn't stink so much, which was nice.
